This will have to do with time stamps on the files:

This happens not during the configure stage but during the make world  
stage, strangely enough. The configure stage finishes without errors.

Mac OS X comes with autoconf 2.52. I do not want to change this (bad  
experiences with changing the default system). Which files do I have to  
touch to make this work?
