You do not need to run DJGPP port of autoconf. Try corresponding
version for Linux (under Linux of course) or one for Cygwin or Mingw
to regenerate configuration related files.

For example gcc-4.4.X requires specified autoconf version (2.59).
For me the first step to build a DJGPP port of GCC is to build
Linux-to-DJGPP cross-compiler RPMs: the sources are patched so
that I require to run autoconf, automake, etc. So I'm doing it
under Linux.

Also: do not use autoconf-2.63 if configure is supposed to be run with
DJGPP port of bash. It has bug which broke configure for
DJGPP. Bug should be fixed in autoconf-2.64, but I have not tested it.
