Cleanup wouldn't make any difference, AFAIK. Have you tried "svn  
revert -R"? (That won't remove the autom4te.cache dir, but that's a  
harmless artifact of having run reautoconf locally at some point, I  
think.)

Otherwise, how about simply checking out a fresh working copy, and  
see what you get?

The file in Subversion looks fine:

Definitely not 0 bytes.
