Hi,
At present time, automake --add-missing is broken.
Apparent cause is this patch below.

< my $am_dir = "@datadir@/@PACKAGE@";
---
> my $am_dir = "@datadir@/@PACKAGE@/am";
=> automake now tries to pickup its support files from
<..>/automake/am instead of <..>/automake when processing
--add-missing.
One possible fix is attached below.
Related question: Which directory is am_dir/--am-dir supposed to
point to, now? <..>/automake/ or <..>/automake/am?
