I'd like to see this problem go away once and for all.
How about the scripts check for newer versions of themselves in the
following paths and run those scripts instead of returning the
information directly? Then the buildds for new architectures could
simply install the required version of autotools-dev and be happy.
/usr/share/automake/
/usr/local/share/automake/
~/.automake/
Some non-FHS compliant paths could be added for platforms that need them.
