In order to avoid to have the sources unpacked in two locations, we
usually unpack them into $(TOOL_BUILD_DIR), i.e.:
AUTOMAKE_SRC_DIR:=$(TOOL_BUILD_DIR)/automake-$(AUTOMAKE_VER)
AUTOMAKE_DIR:=$(BUILD_DIR)/automake-$(AUTOMAKE_VER)
AUTOMAKE_HOST_DIR:=$(TOOL_BUILD_DIR)/automake-$(AUTOMAKE_VER)-host

Can you please adjust accordingly?

Thanks for the nice patch!
