Is that the MinGW share/aclocal-1.11, or the MSYS share/aclocal-1.11?
It should be the latter.

The MinGW packages of Autoconf and Automake are not useful, I suggest
to remove them.  Or leave them alone, if you want, but install this
one as well:

  
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/automake-1.11.6-msys-bin.zip/download

There's Autoconf there, I suggest to install that as well.

Please note that README.txt says to unzip both from the root of the
MSYS tree, not the MinGW tree.

I believe this is your problem: Automake didn't find silent.m4, or
perhaps the contents of that file is incorrect.  The missing section
of configure is taken from that file.
