OK, now I see what's up...all of the different automake versions available had confused me, and I didn't have the latest one (1.10, the straight automake package) installed. When autogen.sh saw that I had both 1.9.x and 1.8 on the same system, it stopped the process at the 1.9.x bit and didn't try to fall back to 1.8. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
Overall, I'm not greatly concerned about this. I think the only versions of distros that we're leaving in the cold are those which are not supported by their vendors (or very close to be). Perhaps we should do our civic duty to reduce spam by encouraging people to move somewhere there are security updates :)
Works for me. ;)
If we did want to stop using 1.10, I'd really like to know why we're avoiding 1.9. We're specifically blocking the entire released 1.9 series.
It looks like it's an issue when compiling Inkscape on a system with MMX optimizations enabled:
