Yes, this is annoying.  The way I do it for Fedora is to carry a patch
for Makefile.in as well.  This patch still has to be prepared with
automake 1.13, so you'd have to make the patch on an OpenSUSE 13.1
box.  Something like this:

tar zxf libguestfs-1.24.8.tar.gz
cp -a libguestfs-1.24.8 libguestfs-1.24.8.old
pushd libguestfs-1.24.8
patch -p1 < ../old.patch
automake
popd
diff -ur libguestfs-1.24.8.old libguestfs-1.24.8 > new.patch

Rich.
