Do 'automake --version' and 'aclocal --version' report the same version
numbers?  Does re-running aclocal fix the problem?

That's odd; it usually means there's an error in the Makefile.  What is
on and around line 257 of your generated Makefile?

For what it's worth, I configure classpath like so:
  ./configure --enable-jni --with-jikes
with the following tools
  automake/aclocal 1.6.3
  autoconf/autoheader 2.53
  libtool 1.4.2a
  jikes 1.14
and don't have any problems with the current CVS pull of classpath.
But perhaps you'd be better off using the *released* v0.4 of classpath?
The released versions have fewer dependencies on the auto* tools;
a tarball is available at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/classpath.
