Raja R Harinath provided a solution which should solve most reported problems,
just run
autoreconf --force
before calling configure. You might also pass -i flag to install new
Automake files (e.g. depcomp) and -l/-m if your macros reside in a local
directory.
BTW I did not check if sdl builds fine with this fix.
