I doubt this was the real problem. Those checks are just boilerplate.
As far as I know they aren't used to make decisions other than "where
do I find autoconf in case I have to run it for this particular
build?".
Of course, there could be a bug in the autoconf configure script.
Using the cvs versions of these tools is frequently dangerous.
