[configure] Fix automake version check

The configure script fails on automake-1.11 (in Fedora-11) since
it looks for 3-digit version number.

"Yann E. MORIN", added the following comment:

The check for the automake version is not against a 3-digit number,
but really against a 3-part version number, a-la 'x.y.z'. Versions
such as 1.10 and 1.11 are also valid.

gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to

make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE

ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently

unsupported).  At this time, the kernel build system only passes

-mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully)."
