I went ahead and grabbed automake 1.8.5, wiped my sandbox to get rid of the files that I moved around, and compiled Inkscape from CVS without a hitch. Thanks to everyone that helped out with this! Inkscape has a fantastic community!

in the end, but it's always a shame when tools aren't backwards compatible)
I wish I knew why automake is the buggy link in the chain, or why in only has issues with mmx support. Don't hold me to this, as I'm not all that familiar with the tool (and I only have limited programming experience), but I'll try compiling with automake 1.9 again and examining the results. If I come up with anything of merit, I'll post it.
Excellent!
Could you do one additional thing as part of wrapping this up - can you make sure this bug is filed upstream, so that the automake folks are aware of it, and so that hopefully future users won't encounter the issue? (Chances are good they already know about it, but it's worth it to check.)
