title: How to disable Automake's test-driver script
body: <p>Our project uses autoconf/automake for configuring and building. The building scripts work fine on Debian Squeeze and Wheezy (automake version 1.11.6), but don't work on Jessie, with a more recent version of automake (version 1.14.1). When I run <code>make distcheck</code> with the new automake version, it fails with</p>
  
  <pre><code>make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/.../_build'
  /bin/bash: ../autotools/test-driver: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Apparently, <code>test-driver</code> is a new script introduced by the recent automake version.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to add <code>autotools/test-driver</code> into extra dependencies, but if it's present, <code>distcheck</code> fails with</p>
  
  <pre><code>.../_build/../autotools/test-driver: the following mandatory options are missing:
        --test-name --log-file --trs-file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd appreciate any ideas how I could either update my build scripts to work with the new version or how to disable this new automake behavior.</p>
