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.
