portaudit and automake14

1. On a 8.0-RELEASE system, I'm having a problem with the automake14
port, where the portaudit port reports this vulnerability:

http://portaudit.freebsd.org/10f38033-e006-11e1-9304-000000000000.html

Refreshing the ports collection with 'portsnap fetch extract' and then
running 'portmaster automake14' returned the same error as before:

automake -- Insecure 'distcheck' recipe granted world-writable distdir

I then tried to do 'make deinstall && make reinstall' for automake14,
but that just deinstalled the port. The system returns the same error as
above when trying to reinstall.

How to resolve?

2. This system also has a couple of other automake ports installed:

automake-1.12.3
automake-wrapper-20101119

How to determine if these are necessary in addition to automake14?

Thanks
