A long shot, but did you happen to actually do something like:
        ./configure
        make
        # Oh darn, forgot the --prefix
        ./configure --prefix=/usr
        make
        [test and install]

If so, "make distclean" and then reinstall autoconf.

Running "configure" fails to force the rebuilding of one specific
file (lib/autom4te.cfg), and I believe that could cause the
problem you've described.

This affects only the building of Autoconf itself, *not* your
autoconfiscated packages.

My Wine works.  However it crashes about half the time on startup.
Apparently their simulation of windoze API is getting too accurate.  :)
