It had likely stopped being deterministic due to the new perl behavior
of having non-deterministic order of numerating hash keys:

See also similar commit v1.14-19-g52e6404, albeit in this case the issue

When computing lispdir, don't load emacs site wide init file.
When computing the lispdir emacs was previously invoked with the '-q'
option to avoid loading the users initialisation files, however, the
site wide initialisation file was still loaded, in some cases this can
cause emacs to hang, with the result that a configure can also hang.
The lisp code that aclocal causes to be executed reduces the load-path
list (in emacs) to empty. The load-path is used by emacs to find
packages which it wants to load. Currently, if emacs tries to auto
load a package during shut down, and the package is not found, then
emacs will hang. This does seem like an emacs bug, but protecting
against this in aclocal is simply a case of not loading the site wide
initialisation file.
In this patch then the '-q' option to emacs is replaced with '-Q',
this has the same, the '-Q' option is similar to '-q --no-site-file
--no-splash'.
* doc/automake.texi (Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update explanation of
emacs code used to get lispdir.
* m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Update emacs flags.
Improve detection of GNU make, avoiding "Arg list too long" errors.
Such errors could take place when the main makefile included too many
sub-makefiles, making $(MAKEFILE_LIST) too long and causing the
recipes $(am__is_gnu_make) to exceed the shell's command-line length
limits. This is not a theoretical issue: it could happen for projects
having lots of C/C++ sources and using automatic dependency tracking,
which created an included .Po sub-makefile for each of such sources.

In particular, suggesting that $PACKAGE and $VERSION should be aliases of

and not be defined via an obsolete 2-argument invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE;
and why that is the best default, given all our historical baggage.

init: ensure $ac_aux_dir is defined before being used
Since we use '$ac_aux_dir' to define '$am_aux_dir', we need
to ensure the former has been initialized before we try to
define the latter, otherwise the definition:

That implementation was only meant as a standard against which the

Automake 1.12, the latter implementation is fully functional and

in the wild).

distcheck: don't allow overriding of --prefix and --srcdir by the user
Not through AM_DISTCHECK_FLAGS, nor through DISTCHECK_FLAGS. Apparently,
some packages got in the habit of relaying all the options passed to the

in "make distcheck". This was causing problems, because it also passed
through the original --srcdir and --prefix options.
