Description

The following:

ant -d -v -DskipTests -Dcompile.native=true clean compile-native

works with GNU automake version 1.11.1, but fails with automake version 1.11.3.

Relevant lines of failure seem to be these:

[exec] make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/hadoop-common/build/native/Linux-amd64-64'
     [exec] Current OS is Linux
     [exec] Executing 'sh' with arguments:
     [exec] '/tmp/hadoop-common/build/native/Linux-amd64-64/libtool'
     [exec] '--mode=install'
     [exec] 'cp'
     [exec] '/tmp/hadoop-common/build/native/Linux-amd64-64/libhadoop.la'
     [exec] '/tmp/hadoop-common/build/native/Linux-amd64-64/lib'
     [exec] 
     [exec] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
     [exec] not part of the command.

BUILD FAILED

Created transcript showing entire output of the above ant command for both automake 1.11.1 (successful) versus 1.11.3 (failed) here:
