Did you grab the tarball or clone the git repo?  The tarball should't
need new autoconf tools - it should have all the stuff prepackaged
that it requires (at least that's been the case in the past).  If
you're grabbing git, it's assumed you're on a current system, or can
build up a current system - in that cause you just have to run the
autotools on the codebase once, and then you can transfer it to older
boxes to run configure and make.
