Your problem looks to me like some sort of build or configuration
error.  Possibly you are attempting to use an Autoconf built with an
older version of GNU M4.  This doesn't work in general; frozen files
aren't always compatible across M4 versions, unfortunately.

I'd try the following:

Build and install M4 1.4.3.
Build and install Autoconf 2.59 from scratch, using M4 1.4.3.
Build and install Bison from scratch.

I don't see your problem my configuration, which uses:

  Bison sources taken from CVS
  M4 1.4.3
  Autoconf 2.59
  Automake 1.9.5
  GCC 3.4.3
  Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r1
