Ah, I found what you mean. For this case
* admin/Makefile.common calls admin/cvs.sh
* Then admin/cvs.sh
  1. check autoconf, then autoheader. If version check succeeds,
     then no output is printed. When version check fails, it complains
     as you are seeing.
  2. next check automake. When this succeeds, admin/cvs.sh reports
     what type of automake is found.

What I did is just I read admin/cvs.sh and checked what are actually
done. These behavior are written in the function check_autotool_versions()
in admin/cvs.sh.
