There's a problem for gcc-developers: When I need to import a libtool
upstream patch, by its nature it affects each library. As I prefer to
avoid mixing these diffs with an automake version change in one commit,
I need to bootstrap different libraries with different automake versions.

Even if I probably need to split this change into one commit per library
anyway, the need for multiple automake versions still feels pointless.

Now that gcc-5 is out, what about an automake-1.11.6 update for gcc-6?

BTW, the actual commands I use to re-run automake for everything (I found) is:
  $ export AUTOMAKE='automake-1.11 --add-missing --copy --force-missing'
  $ /src/gcc-trunk/configure --prefix=/install \
      --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,go,java,lto,objc,obj-c++ \
      --enable-liboffloadmic=target \
      --enable-libmpx \
      --enable-maintainer-mode 
  $ make bootstrap

Thanks!
