Well, the AS_HELP_STRING stuff was the only problem you reported for
the last build, and that has been fixed.  I don't know of any other
problem, it would appear that your source for autoconf can also
provide something newer, and we don't demand a specific version of
autoconf in our installation instructions, but just say "recent".

I don't think that at the current point of time there is much more
information we'd might want to gather in that respect.
