Well, normally when making a new GNOME build, I do a

$ rm -rf ~baulig/INSTALL ~/compile
$ cd ~/preserve/automake
$ make install
$ cd ../libtool
$ make install

And did a `./configure --prefix=/home/baulig/INSTALL' in automake and
libtool long ago ...

This will get rid of all GNOME files and install a fresh automake/aclocal
and libtool.
