Problem with global AUR package

Hello,

I try to build the AUR package for GNU global https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/global/

florian@asaru ~/scratch/global (git)-[master] % makepkg -s
[...]
Making all in gozilla
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/florian/scratch/global/src/global-6.3.3/gozilla'
 cd .. && /bin/sh /home/florian/scratch/global/src/global-6.3.3/missing automake-1.14 --gnu gozilla/Makefile
/home/florian/scratch/global/src/global-6.3.3/missing: line 81: automake-1.14: command not found
WARNING: 'automake-1.14' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>

    Aborting...

I was experimenting with symlinks and alike with no success. After I uncommented the patch in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gl/global/PKGBUILD the error changed and moved to the make install phase.

libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c gozilla /home/florian/scratch/global/pkg/global/usr/bin/gozilla
 /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/home/florian/scratch/global/pkg/global/usr/share/man/man1'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 gozilla.1 '/home/florian/scratch/global/pkg/global/usr/share/man/man1'
make  install-data-hook
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/florian/scratch/global/src/global-6.3.3/gozilla'

Which is the same error I get when I ./configure && make && make DESTDIR=something install on the vanilla package from the global homepage.

Problem seems to that install-data-hook used a localstatedir variable and creates that dir. This is set to localstatedir = ${prefix}/var and ignores the setting of DESTDIR.

Thanks,
Florian
