BTW, this issue had been already reported in the past:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-09/msg00008.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00049.html
"make distcheck" could sometimes fail to detect missing files in the
distribution tarball, especially in those cases where both the generated
files and their dependencies are explicitly in $(srcdir). An important
example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake
time in Makefile.am. A basic example:
# -*- Makefile.am -*-
$(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh
cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am
include $(srcdir)/fragment.am
...
If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution
tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded!
The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also
looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued
VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is
part of the original development directory.

When computing lispdir, don't load emacs site wide init file.
When computing the lispdir emacs was previously invoked with the '-q'
option to avoid loading the users initialisation files, however, the
site wide initialisation file was still loaded, in some cases this can
cause emacs to hang, with the result that a configure can also hang.
The lisp code that aclocal causes to be executed reduces the load-path
list (in emacs) to empty. The load-path is used by emacs to find
packages which it wants to load. Currently, if emacs tries to auto
load a package during shut down, and the package is not found, then
emacs will hang. This does seem like an emacs bug, but protecting
against this in aclocal is simply a case of not loading the site wide
initialisation file.
In this patch then the '-q' option to emacs is replaced with '-Q',
this has the same, the '-Q' option is similar to '-q --no-site-file
--no-splash'.

Improve detection of GNU make, avoiding "Arg list too long" errors.
Such errors could take place when the main makefile included too many
sub-makefiles, making $(MAKEFILE_LIST) too long and causing the
recipes $(am__is_gnu_make) to exceed the shell's command-line length
limits. This is not a theoretical issue: it could happen for projects
having lots of C/C++ sources and using automatic dependency tracking,
which created an included .Po sub-makefile for each of such sources.
