He's already at 1.10 according to the mail :-)

Unfortunately automake is notorious for repeatedly breaking  
constructs that worked perfectly fine and didn't even generate  
warnings in the previous release.

You could try to debug what it is complaining about (something with  
the as assembler), and perhaps try to add AM_PROG_AS somewhere in  
configure.ac. We'll probably fix it when it's time for a new release,  
if not sooner.

  Otherwise, you can always install automake-1.9.x in a separate  
location and (temporarily) put that first in your path.

Cheers,

Erik
