autoconf before 2.71 and automake before 1.16 installs its unversioned symlinks directly in /usr/bin, ignoring prefix

Because of this, the symlinks in question don't get included in the repo tarballs. This causes inconsistent behavior between CI and regular bootstrap (because of single vs. multiple passes).

This is similar to #377, but while #377 is about our scripts polluting the live system, in this case, it's actually the upstream code that bypasses the prefix.
