Okay. It a stretch for me to understand all this stuff at once stuff. It looks to me like autogen.sh calls automake-1.9 with the option "--add-missing". By default the option links the files rather than copy. So that links some files in the /usr/share/automake-1.9 directory to the gnucash directory including COPYING and INSTALL. Regardless of who's problem it is, adding the option "--copy" to automake-1.9 in autogen.sh solved my problem. If it could be helpful to anyone else I can file a bugreport for it.
