The easiest way is likely to patch configure.ac, similar to what was done in http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=60da074fea280d8190e7439361712dcc86177f12

So you were on the right track in your earlier email.

No, what that line does is add some extra argument to the call to configure. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is a macro in configure.ac. 

 Create the patch that you talked about in got previous email, and make sure that it applies. Then this problem will go away.
