This looks correct.

This too.

The very thing is that under OS X the GNU autotool binaries often have
the prefix `g', and that there are similar, native Apple tools
(without the leading `g') that do something completely different,
probably based on programs with a BSD background.

Please ensure that you are *really* using GNU autoconf and automake!
