I had to install autoconf (using apt) on both Debian/linux and
Debian/kfreebsd (stable) in order to compile TeXlive.
I also had to install m4 in order to compile the very latest upstream
version of metapost (1.99).
None of this should be necessary. I suspect your timestamps got messed
up somewhere. The intent (and actuality, as far as I know, given a
clean checkout with timestamps as in the repository) is that no
autotools are necessary to build TL.
xz is completely outside the normal build and is a different issue.
anyway,
