Yes, you are right. Automake 1.9.4 works fine without those
bits. However, automake 1.9.5 fails with the following diagnostics:

autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
configure.ac:122: required file `lib/getdate.c' not found
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

With them, automake 1.9.5 works fine.
