Yeah, I guess it's the best we have ;-)

You're not the first one to point out similar problems with automake
creating faulty links. Any ideas what causes these? I'm at a loss.

If the cfed_CPPFLAGS are missing from the command line, that
certainly explains the compile and link errors.

Can you check with a more recent automake? I'm using 1.7.9 myself.
Works for me (TM).

Note that you probably won't have much fun with current CVS anyway,
as it is very much in a state of flux and a few important files
are still missing (ok, if I get kicked hard enough I might manage
to check in a preliminary version to get it working again at least),
but resolving those compile problems before the next release would
be nice either way.
