You are having autoconf version adventures. This is an
ongoing problem, actually. Make sure that you are using
autoconf 2.57 or better when running autogen.sh . I've
added a check to autogen.sh that confirms this so that folks
aren't confused so easily...
In summary:
make distclean
upgrade autoconf to 2.57 or better
sh autogen.sh
and you should be back in business...
