This is kinda odd.  My guess is that you don't have a recent version of
automake installed.  Xfce-related stuff requires 1.8 or higher (though
some of the packages may work sometimes with lower versions, this is
unintentional and unsupported).

A while ago I modified xfce4-dev-tools to first search for automake-1.8,
then automake-1.9, then simply automake.  Most (recent?) Linux distros
will allow you to install several versions in parallel using that scheme.
