I expect that Fencepost is still running Automake 1.11 only because it's
still running Trisquel 4, a distribution released in 2011 back when
Automake 1.11 was current. Trisquel 4 was a long-term release, was
fully supported until last year, and is scheduled to get security
updates through next year. At that point I suppose even fencepost will
have to upgrade -- one can keep dinosaurs running only for so long
before being overwhelmed by the costs of feeding them.
I don't recall any Automake-version-related problems when building Emacs
for a couple of years anyway, and I've been testing only with the latest
version of Automake all along. Perhaps there were problems before that,
lost in the mists of time, but if so I've forgotten them.
