bug#42665: New tests failures with autoconf-2.69b (beta)

[Ken Moffat]

I tested automake-1.16.2 in a fresh build on top of autoconf-2.69b
(latest beta).  Instead of all automakes tests passing or skipping,
as happened with autoconf-2.69, I now have 2 new failures (but
autoconf now has zero failures, which is a big improvement).

Already reported to autoconf (with typo in subject), but copying you
on the new errors in case you care.
