Should I understand that there is more than one autoconf version available ?
Remember that autom4te 'belongs' to autoconf.
Could you search the system for more than one 'autom4te' file ?

If you happen to have more than one we could also be facing a
hardcoded path to the wrong one from inside 'aclocal'. Fortunately, if
this is the case, aclocal 1.10 from automake 1.10 will use whatever
autom4te is specified in environment variable AUTOM4TE when this is
set.

WHat happens if you comment out with 'dnl' near line #140 the
CURL_CONFIGURE_REENTRANT macro invocation in file configure.ac from
current CVS ? Does buildconf succeed ?

I think that it would be more appropriate to report the problem first
to the automake and autoconf mailing lists, after all they are
generating the input for gm4.
