Seems like you have also increased the automake requirement, Adrian
Bunk tested a few versions of automake and looks like you are
triggering this:

  http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=automake&pr=450&cmd=view%20audit-trail

which is fixed in automake 1.9.6.

Attached is a patch from him to bump the requirement.
