Please try a new checkout.  To update an old working copy, I've been doing 
the following, but be careful not to delete any of your local 
modifications, of course:

  rm build-aux/* lib/* m4/* # Ignore CVS and uniwidth errors.
  rm -rf lib/uniwidth gnulib
  cvs update
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure
  make
