FWIW, I get this all the time, as I have mentioned before at
times. I think it's because the checked-in autoconf stuff does
not match the recommended maintainer tools. I routinely work
around it by touching all aclocal.m4 after an update. I CC:ed
Alexandre Oliva, since he's done some work in this area, in
particular on the shared toplevel configury. Perhaps he can
recommend a new autoconf version for the maintainer tools.
