Actually, I've generally had to get a later version of autotools off the net to make it work when building our packages and the packages that ours depend upon (which are also newer than the version in many Linux distributions or aren't included in them at all). There is also a great deal of confusion regarding M4 macro directories used by autotools that end up being distributed with the package and are not compatible with the host's version of autotools.
This has pretty much been the largest hassle in building our software that I've faced. We've also seen developers breaking the build for other developers, and thus Dave Witten had a separate build system from David Rowe, which has not encouraged Dave Witten to continue development - and IMO that is a _big_ problem. As far as I am aware, this has been the #1 barrier in keeping the project operating as an Open Source community with many active developers. Nobody can hack on the software if it's hard to build. And thus I am out to swat that problem for the good of the project.
