This sounds like if autoconf wasn't found during testing (or maybe
autom4te, which is part of Autoconf).  Autoconf is needed at 'make
check' time for many of the tests.  Could you enter the tests directory
and run
  env VERBOSE=yes TESTS='foo.test bar.test' make -e check

with foo and bar replaced by a couple of the failing tests, to find out?

For these failures, please do similarly, and post the verbose output of
the tests that failed.  Thank you.

Cheers,
