With your directions and an extra twist I succeeded in compiling with 
automake 1.5.  The command line you suggested give much fewer warnings 
and produces a "usable" Makefile.  For some reason however, automake 
can't figure out what the OBJEXT variable's value should be and 
therefore doesn't set it in the Makefile. So I had to edit it by hand 
and add the line:

OBJEXT = o

in Makefile, tests/Makefile, example/Makefile

Perhaps you know of a way to do this automatically?  Here's the warnings 
from automake using the new parameters (they seem to be irrelevant to 
the OBJEXT problem though):
