Phew, thanks everybody I have now sorted it, I found the solution at:

https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Using_Allegro_with_autoconf/KDevelop

"This comes about because aclocal cannot find allegro.m4. aclocal does not seem to search in /usr/local/share/aclocal for m4 files. This means that if you built allegro from sources yourself, you probably will have to move the file `/usr/local/share/aclocal/allegro.m4` to `/usr/share/aclocal/`."

I did not build Allegro from sources myself, but I copied (too timid to move - I might break something else) Allegro.m4 to the second location. It still did not compile straight away, I got the DSO error that struck with Mint 16. However, repeating the process as previously suggested by Kai and slightly modified by me worked a treat, which is to say:

make clean
LIBS="-lm -lpthread" ./configure --enable-dynarec
make

Back to RiscOS happiness.

Sean.

RPCEmu but it looks as if Allegro 4 is not installed, see the
following error:

./configure: line 4634: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 4634: `   AM_PATH_ALLEGRO(, , as_fn_error $?
"building RPCemu requires Allegro to be installed" "$LINENO" 5)'
Have you tried running this command?

   autoreconf --verbose --force

Maybe it is just that the autotools-related files are outdated.
