  I'm no expert on all that auto-* malarkey, but I notice one thing:

  I don't even _have_ a /usr/share/autoconf directory on my installation,
and bootstrap.sh WJFFM.  Perhaps there is some residual bogosity lurking in
there from old versions?

  I don't have any /usr/bin/autom4te-2.5x either.  My Channels.pm lives
under /usr/autotool/{devel,stable}/share/Autom4te.

  Sounds like you have some stray stuff going on?

    cheers,
