Hmm, I saw an error when building build-autoconf about the version of 
m4.  Adding a build-m4 package (not yet checked in) seemed to get me 
past that problem, but then building the build-autoconf package failed 
with errors like this:

You are not seeing this problem?  I have no clue what's causing it.
