Nothing really to fix here, except that next time I should do the 'make dist' on moria, where the autofoo tools are configured correctly, rather than on a laptop I used since we didn't want to push any of the patches until packages were ready.
Recommended workaround in the mean time is to stop wanting openbsd-malloc.
This should be better in the next releases: I've made it so that our package build process notes that it needs automake 1.7 or later , so that we won't accidentally leave openbsd_malloc out in a later release. (See notes for bug #2305 (moved) and commit e4320689cc468).
Also, this bug was a duplicate. Please don't reopen duplicates.
