The aclocal application is provided by autoconf.  You may need a
specific version of autoconf as will be indicated by the AC_PREREQ line
in configure.ac.

The /tmp directory is not the place to put your source code.  It may
even be the cause of other issues.  Depending on the system it may even
cause the system to crash.  Instead create $HOME/src and move the source
code to it.

You cannot execute configure properly if the autogen.sh script failed,
autogen.sh and aclocal in particular is what creates the script.

If /bin/sh doesn't exist or isn't executable then your system is borked
and you're not going to get anywhere.  However you executed ./configure
to get this far so something else is wrong and what that is I cannot
tell from here; maybe because your trying to build in the /tmp directory.

Always an option to specify --build=YOUR.SYSTEM.TRIPLET to bypass the
guessing.
