'make check' failures on linux 2.4.8 i686

[Vin Shelton]

I downloaded automake-1.5b and configured it with --disable-nls and
built it with gcc 2.95.4.  Included here are the results of all the
tests.

'make check' on automake-1.5 passed all 322 tests.

Please let me know if any more information would be helpful.
