sim automake regen

[Mike Frysinger via Gdb-patches]

what's up with this change ?  i couldn't find mention of it on the mailing
lists, and when i regenerate autotools locally, it's reverting the commit
you've made.  are you seeing a problem running autotools or something ?

I didn't look at the particular change, but one thing that sometimes
happens is that some distros patch auto*, affecting their output.  So,
you can wind up with spurious patches even though the version appears to
be correct.

I personally deal with this by installing the upstream releases in their
own prefix, and then changing my path when I need them.

Several ports were failing to build sim/.  It initially looked like it
was sufficient to just regen with automake, but it's something deeper.

Odd that we're getting opposing diffs when regenerating.  Go with yours
and we'll get it sorted out later -- I'm at my last day with Red Hat and
likely won't be digging into tester failures over the next week or two
as I start to get my feed under me at a new job.

Sorry for any confusion,
