Cured inelegantly by

cd lib
make
cd ..
make

But then the tests fail as this is the first time through on the perl 5.8 box,
so,

+exec: /usr/local/bin/autom4te: not found

isn't too surprising: I'm pretty sure the sequence is make check then make
install.. Next to figure out why that's there..

(The other box already had autoconf 2.53a installed => only tests 4 & 5 failed.
After installing they passed..)

Is the conclusion: I'm wrong and the sequence really is make install then make
check?
