crosstool-ng-svn configure errors out with automake not being detected

It has installed fine before until now:

automake 1.10 or above was not found

Either you are missing entirely the needed tool,
or the version you have is too old.
configure: Bailing out...
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build crosstool-ng-svn package.

juan ~  $

And I have automake-1.11 installed:

juan ~  $  yaourt -Q automake
==> List all installed packages
core/automake 1.11-1
juan ~  $

Any help?

If you downgrade automake it will build. must be a problem with crosstool not using automake any higher than 1.10.

Try to find out how the configure script trys to detect the version number of autoconf. Maybe it is just an sed from "1.10" to "1.11" that solves the problem.

It still won't build, do you mind sending me the pkg for crosstool-ng-svn?
