I upgraded my autobuild environment for Linux 2.6 i686 to the latest
Debian SID, which upgraded some of the tools we use:

Before:
buildconf: autoconf version 2.67 (ok)
buildconf: autom4te version 2.67 (ok)
buildconf: autoheader version 2.67 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.7.9 (ok)
buildconf: aclocal version 1.7.9 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 2.2.6 (ok)
buildconf: libtoolize found
buildconf: GNU m4 version 1.4.14 (ok)

After:
buildconf: autoconf version 2.68 (ok)
buildconf: autom4te version 2.68 (ok)
buildconf: autoheader version 2.68 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.7.9 (ok)
buildconf: aclocal version 1.7.9 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 2.4 (ok)
buildconf: libtoolize found
buildconf: GNU m4 version 1.4.16 (ok)

This created some problems. See http://curl.haxx.se/dev/builds.html
or specifically e.g. http://curl.haxx.se/dev/log.cgi?id=20110531040641-18311

What happens is this:

buildconf: running libtoolize
buildconf: running aclocal
aclocal: macro `_LT_DECL_SED' required but not defined
aclocal: macro `_LT_FUNC_STRIPNAME_CNF' required but not defined
The aclocal command line failed
testcurl: buildconf was NOT successful

Autoconf is great as long as it works, but as soon as it fails I have
no idea at all.. anyone else?
