Nope. Automake 1.2h isn't of any help, and unless things are very
different, Automake 1.2f wouldn't be either. The problem caused by the
replacement of `AC_PROG_INSTALL' with `EGCS_PROG_INSTALL'. `automake'
knows `AC_PROG_INSTALL' defines a special var called `INSTALL_DATA', but
it doesn't know that EGCS_PROG_INSTALL does too. `automake' also
matches any *_DATA variables, and generates a Makefile that tries to
install the files listed in those variables.
One fix would be (I haven't tested this) to either rename
EGCS_PROG_INSTALL in acinclude.m4 to AC_PROG_INSTALL, or say
AC_DEFINE([AC_PROG_INSTALL],[EGCS_PROG_INSTALL])
in acinclude.m4.
BTW, automake-1.2[fh] can be found at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/home/tromey .

That should work.
