Perhaps --enable-maintainer-mode could be extended to specify a PATH

It would need to be on a per-directory basis.  Something like

--enable-maintainer-mode=\
"gdb:/usr/local/000227/bin,libstdc++-v3:/usr/local/oldauto/bin,*:yes"

This is beyond gross. :-(

Better to require

autoconf-2.14
autoconf

and then have each directory know which one to use, and require the advanced user to have these.

OAUTOCONF = autoconf-2.14
AUTOCONF = autoconf

and then use $(AUTOCONF) for new uses, and $(OAUTOCONF) for old uses.

Also, we need a version check on the old autoconf to be sure that it isn't too new.
