I just run a script which

1. applies my patches.

2. hack to enable an old version of autoconf to be used, oh wait, I
probably should get rid of that:

cat <<EOF >> acinclude.m4
dnl Hack to allow old CVS version of autoconf to work.
define([m4_ifval],[ifval])dnl
EOF

Problem solved. I had forgotten I put that there. Strange though, I
wasn't quite expecting such a drastic reaction. Sorry about this false
bug report.

Next problem: does this version mismatch really matter?

Makefile.am:3: require version 1.4b, but have 1.4-p4
include/Makefile.am:3: require version 1.4b, but have 1.4-p4
[etc]
