Thanks for catching all those blunders.  Here is an update version of
the comments:

  # We pass '--libdir' explicitly, to avoid spurious failures due to users
  # or distributions possibly overriding '${libdir}' in their $CONFIG_SITE
  # file (for example, defining it to '${prefix}/lib64' on 64-bit systems,
  # as is the case with OpenSUSE 12.1).  See automake bug#10426.

I will push by this evening if there is no objection.
