Centos6 glib-2.36.x build problem; confused about automake-1.13

["C. Thomas Stover" <cts thomasstover com>]

Long story short, I'm having to make something work for centos6. This 
distro likes to use really old libs, thus needing to build glib-2.36.x 
for it. The release tar ball fails complaining about automake-1.13: 
command not found. Yes I updated automake to 1.14. Yes I tried a symlink 
with the name automake-1.13. It's trying to build the docs. It shouldn't 
even need automake for a tarball release anyway. Anyone know a work 
around? Can I just tell it not to build the docs?
