Yes, it's fixed in 1.6.

`unset' is not portable.

Recent Autoconf versions will set or unset CDPATH as
appropriate, so the above line has been rewritten as

  am_aux_dir=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd`

In Makefiles, however, you still have to fiddle with CDPATH.
Automake 1.6 uses

  CDPATH="$${ZSH_VERSION+.}$(PATH_SEPARATOR)" && cd somewhere && pwd
