Could you send the full output of the following four commands, run
from the top directory of the project you are having trouble with.

m4 --version

autoconf --version

automake --version

autoconf --trace=AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB:\$f:\$l::\$n::\${::}% 
--trace=AC_INIT:\$f:\$l::\$n::\${::}% 
--trace=AC_CONFIG_FILES:\$f:\$l::\$n::\${::}%

(In case it gets wrapped by some mailer, the above horror is a single line.)

If you were using CVS Autoconf (2.59a), consider upgrading there
was a bug causing these symptoms some months ago.
