Just thought of what your problem is: Havoc put some magic in GConf's
autogen.sh to prefer automake-1.4, if found, to automake. 

(The Red Hat automake package provides automake-1.4 as well as an
automake symlink to that... the idea is that
automake-1.4/automake-1.5/automake-1.6 always point to the particular
version, and 'automake' is just the default version; this change is
upstream for newer versions of automake.)

vbs works by installing it's own copy of automake; it doesn't install
a copy of automake-1.4, so it's finding the wrong automake.

 ln -sf /gnome/head/INSTALL/bin/automake /gnome/head/INSTALL/bin/automake-1.4

Should fix your problem.
