I am unable to reproduce the error, and all builds fine now.
I think that I did not bootstrap at all, but used the configure
script that was in the repository.  I don't undertstand why
aclocal.m4 and configure are in the repo, and didn't realize
that I hadn't built them myself from a previous bootstrap.
