Comment(by nickm):

 IMO we should just disallow the broken automakes; it seems much easier
 than trying to figure out what about our approach to conditional
 compilation plays badly with 1.6.

 Right now, AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in Makefile.am says we support 1.6 and later.
 A quick check shows that 1.7 is the first one that distributes
 OpenBSD_malloc.c correctly, and the first one that doesn't give us all
 those warnings about --datarootdir.  I say we just update Makefile.am to
 say that we require 1.7 or later.
