What is autoconfig? I'm assuming you meant autoconf.
This is a FAQ:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Bootstrapping
Correct - autoconf requires installed m4.
> M4 requires autoconf to install.
Not true. m4.git requires installed autoconf for development. But
m4.tar.* does NOT require autoconf for the purposes of installing m4.
So, install m4 first, then install autoconf, then you can develop either
package.
