Sorry, mea culpa.
I didn't verify that my automake was 1.6!

Just two remarks:
  * Do we really need 1.6, it seems quite recent, it is not on the woody 
distribution
  * I feel the compilation process is a bit unreadable:
source='p30tcpip.c' object='p30tcpip.o' libtool=no \
depfile='.deps/p30tcpip.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/p30tcpip.TPo' \
depmode=gcc /bin/sh ../config/depcomp \
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../include -I..    -g -Wall -c `test
-f 'p30tcpip.c' || echo './'`p30tcpip.c

Can't it be cleaned?
