Sounds like your hardware has problems with PCI-PCI transfers. There is
a README.freeze with some hints ...

xawtv doesn't use automake ...
autoconf shouldn't be needed too. There is a Makefile rule to
automagically run autoconf if configure.ac is newer than configure, but
that isn't true for the files in the tarball:
macintoy kraxel ~/bytesex# tar tvzf xawtv/xawtv_3.78.tar.gz | grep configure
-rw-r--r-- kraxel/users 7868 2002-10-28 09:48:06 xawtv-3.78/configure.ac
-rwxr-xr-x kraxel/users 197058 2002-10-30 12:26:42 xawtv-3.78/configure
So unless you are changing something in configure.ac autoconf shouldn't
be needed ...
