All these tests fail for the same reason: Bison aborts with
"Broken pipe".  So it seems something is wrong with your
installation of Bison or its communication with M4.  (The pipe
is between Bison and M4.)

If you upgraded m4 after installing Bison, perhaps that caused
it.  I'd suggest you reinstall Bison (better install Bison 2.0
while you are at it, there is not much differences with 1.875),
run Bison's test-suite, and then retry to install Automake.
