Previously we moved GNU_MIRROR from ftp.gnu.org to ftpmirror.gnu.org[1],
however for reasons whilst ftp.gnu.org puts the content under a /gnu/
subdirectory, ftpmirror.gnu.org redirects to inside /gnu/.
This can be verified with curl. With /gnu/ included in the URL:
$ curl -vL https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to ftpmirror.gnu.org (2001:470:142:5::200) port 443 (#0)
< HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
< Location: https://mirror.cs.odu.edu/gnu//gnu/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to mirror.cs.odu.edu (128.82.4.140) port 443 (#1)
> GET /gnu//gnu/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz HTTP/1.1
< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
However, removing it:
$ curl -vL https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to ftpmirror.gnu.org (2001:470:142:5::200) port 443 (#0)
< HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
< Location: https://mirror.ibcp.fr/pub/gnu//automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to mirror.ibcp.fr (2001:660:500b:245::145) port 443 (#1)
> GET /pub/gnu//automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz HTTP/2
< HTTP/2 200
< content-length: 2517494
< content-type: application/x-gzip
This wasn't noticed as we have a default mirrors.bbclass which uses the
kernel.org mirror network.
It's also interesting that ftpmirror's attempt at providing local
mirrors is far from optimal: in testing this from the UK I was given
mirrors in the USA and China as often as Europe.

Summary of the release notes:
* New features added
- New autoconf macro AM_OPTIONAL_AUTOMAKE.
* Bugs fixed
- Recognize COPYINGv2, COPYINGv3, COPYING.LESSERv2 and COPYING.LESSERv3
as license files; distribute them automatically, similarly to COPYING.
- `make dist' no longer propagates its internal distribution-directory
cleanup override to recursive makes run while constructing distdir.
- `make dist-bzip2 dist-xz' now succeeds.
- Non-zero exit codes of compressors for the dist tarballs no longer abort
the job in a state where the empty files are left behind.
- Busybox tar no longer assumed to be GNU tar just because it
supports --version.
- `make dist' now fails when tar fails, instead of exiting
successfully with a truncated archive.
- The filename-length-max=N option no longer rejects file names of
exactly N characters.
- A file that is not currently present is still a part of the distribution
if a `Makefile.am' rule can build it.
- Objective C and Objective C++ sources built with Libtool are now
compiled and linked with `--tag=OBJC' and `--tag=OBJCXX'.
