Strange ... I've been building with current sources for several days using an
older autoconf. While the build process was very fragile, it did not complain.
However, after a build with automake=1.12, libtool=2.2.6b, and autoconf=2.65,
downgrading autoconf does result in an error and autogen aborts!
My build process is no longer fragile either. For example, I can now "make
clean" without errors.
