Comment (by marcin):

 Can we just workaround the serial-tests problem by checking the automake
 version using system command ?

 {{{
 +m4_define([serial_tests], [
 +    m4_esyscmd([automake --version |
 +                head -1 |
 +                awk '{split ($NF,a,"."); if (a[1] == 1 && a[2] >= 12) {
 print "serial-tests" }}'
 +    ])
 +])
 +AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(foreign serial_tests)
 }}}

 I have taken it from here:
