That's pretty strange.  If you generate a tarball from CVS yourself,
using emacs/make-dist, does that tarball fail to build?

Try also deleting configure and doing `make bootstrap' to generate a
new configure file (in case there's some bug in the version of
autoconf I'm using).  Does it work in that case?
