I left out copying config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/misc (they're supplied by autotools-dev) before running ./autogen.sh. It would be nice to script out the above so that the diff.gz is easily regenerated with a new upstream (CVS snapshot, etc.); the autoconf/automake diff is some 15,000 lines and distracts from the real changes.
