[A organic alien being alive forever]

In Docker(in the vmware ubunt also has the problem):

Environment:

Ubuntu 20.04 5.15.0-78-generic.

Automake1.4 from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/java/automake-gcj-1.4.tar.gz.

 

root@576a62413a36:~/automakeOut# automake --version

syntax error at /usr/local/bin/automake line 932, near "$name ("

syntax error at /usr/local/bin/automake line 1095, near "$subr ("

BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/automake line 3287.

 

And the readme don??t have anything about this ,so I sent the message.
