You seem to be missing the Autoconf macros for SDL. 
Double check that you have all the required debian SDL packages.
I've listed the debian testing version of these packages below.
If you are uncertain if you installed them before, or if you believe 
on may be corrupted, use apt-get to install it anway. It can't hurt. ;)

You are (almost certainly) missing: libsdl1.2-dev

But you should check to make sure you are not missing any of the following:

libsdl-image1.2 AND
libsdl-mixer1.2 AND
One of the 5 testing libsdl main packages.
