I'm also running Debian unstable. Weird thing is that the latest autoconf
is from january 25. (See http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/a/autoconf/ ) and
I've been using autoconf without any problems up till yesterday.

Yesterday evening I decided to rebuild the whole gnome stack. A lot of the
builds failed, because of autoconf problems.

I'll dig a bit deeper to see what's wrong
