It's a bug in AM_PATH_PYTHON (defined in
/usr/share/aclocal-1.16/python.m4).
AC_CACHE_CHECK([for $am_display_PYTHON version], [am_cv_python_version],
[am_cv_python_version=`$PYTHON -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[[:3]])"`])
In the Python 3.10 interpreter:
>>> print(sys.version[:3])
3.1
(because the first 3 characters of the string "3.10.0b2" are "3.1")
This seems to have been fixed upstream already:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/m4/python.m4#n89
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/m4/python.m4?id=e21d46fddd0753e66a4acda88317670fee07f3e6
