NOTE
On this post I'm using the lastest GNU automake verion at the time of this writing. But sometimes one particular version simply doesn't work. For instance, version 1.16 fails building, but version 1.16.1 succeeds.
The basic building strategy and general assumptions have been detailed on a previous post: Staged Building, so I'll (hopefully) get more straight to the point:
$ pwd
/stage/build
$ ./gnu-build-preparation ../source/.../automake-1.16.1.tar.xz
...
$ cd automake/automake-1.16.1-64
$ source ../setenv 64
CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
CC=/usr/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2 -std=gnu89
CXX=/usr/bin/g++ CXXFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2 -std=gnu++03
LD=/usr/bin/ld LDFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2
PATH=/opt/gnu/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=
Suggested build sequence:

NOTE
The were a few (12) testing failures:

FAIL: t/fort4.sh
FAIL: t/fort5.sh
FAIL: t/lex-clean-cxx.sh
FAIL: t/lex-depend-cxx.sh
FAIL: t/objc-minidemo.sh

FAIL: t/silent-f77.sh
FAIL: t/silent-f90.sh
FAIL: t/silent-many-languages.sh
FAIL: t/subobj-pr13928-more-langs.sh
But, in fact, not really.
For instance:
- By inspecting ./t/amhello-cflags.log I saw that part of the test-case was built ignoring the relevant CFLAGS environment variables. Hence, it hard-coded built a 32-bits artifacts to what should be a purely 64-bits test case. As a result the test failed with a well-known internal message: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32. In summary, this could be considered a bug in the test-case, thus not a severe failure of the recently built 64-bits artifact itself. The same happened to objc , silent-many-languages and ...-more-langs tests.
- The Fortran related test-cases are irrelevant here. This includes the fort4.sh, fort5.sh, silent-f77.sh, silent-f90.sh.
- For the ./t/lex-clean-cxx.sh and ./t/lex-depend-cxx.sh there had been a C++ compilation error which could be due to a bug in the test source-code or due to selecting -std=gnu++03:
previous declaration of 'int yylex()' with ‘C++’ linkage

The building process is virtually the same for 32-bits artifacts.
But I don't perform it because I'm exclusively focusing on 64-bits artifacts.
