I attached the logs.

BTW: I had the opportunity now to test this on another system, but I couldn't
reproduce it there.

If it comes down to that, I can do it, but it doesn't make much
sense.  automake1.8 only installs a few binaries, none of which
the autoconf makefile runs directly, and it shouldn't be running
them via alternatives either.  I don't understand why it would
break anything, and I especially don't understand why it would
only break it on your system.

Could you please provide complete build logs for Autoconf with
and without automake1.8 installed?  I have a feeling that
something early in the build is different from what I'm getting
here.

That's curious.  I'll find out what's going on with automake.

Thanks for figuring this out!

Can you reproduce the problem with pbuilder (or another isolated

Package: autoconf

Severity: important
Justification: renders package unusable

autoconf 2.59a-4 doesn't build from source. I'm using gcc 3.3.5. autoconf 
2.59a-3 builds fine.

It fails like this:

Obviuosly something changed between 2.59a-3 and -4.

After mv -f autom4te.tmp autom4te the command 
../tests/autom4te --language M4sh --cache '' ./autoconf.as -o autoconf.in 
occur, which complains about not finding
autoconf-2.59a/tests/.././lib/autom4te.cfg. This doesn't happen in 2.59a-3. 

A diff of the two configure scripts give me this:

I would suspect that this change had some strange side effect.
