Well, almost. Is there a good reason automake 1.11 isn't supported?
Paraphrasing autogen.sh:
case $automake_version in *' '1.[5-9]*|*' '1.10*)
echo "This automake version is not supported by LyX."
echo "LyX only supports automake 1.5 to 1.10."; exit 1

Ah, I was wondering why those were necessary... and sad when my build
failed without them. Thanks for the explanation!

Yes, but shouldn't that script be ./configure itself? Since
./configure already detects the gcc version, would it be easy (for an
automake expert) to add these flags while we wait for binutils and the
weak symbols problem?

That will be awesome! =)
