Does automake have a policy on when to stop supporting a CPU, operating system, or compiler?
Automake does not have specific support for anything so this concept is utterly alien to it.
Libtool does have specific support for certain targets/tools, and Automake may optionally make use of it.
Unlike something like CMake, Automake just keeps on working using well established patterns.
It is possible that something might stop working on a 30 year old system, but this would not be noticed unless there is a bug report.
