Thanks for updating the automake package, impressive work! All the internal 
tests pass now for me. Here is what I get now for guix with automake-1.12.6 
(from guix) and autoconf-2.69 (from debian).

autoreconf returns:
configure.ac:18: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and 
will soon be removed.
configure.ac:18: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' 
macro instead,
configure.ac:18: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your 
Makefile.am files.

AC_PROG_MKDIR_P was introduced in autoconf-2.60, so should be safe to use.

Then ./configure yields:
checking for the Guix system type... x86_64-linux
./configure: line 6572: syntax error near unexpected token `GUILE,'
./configure: line 6572: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GUILE, guile-2.0)'

I am using pkg-config-0.26 from debian.

Andreas
