OK, having used plain automake-1.4, this happens when bootstrapping with
not having installed help2man:
# ../autoconf/configure --prefix=/opt/gnu-exp
[..]
checking for working help2man... missing
[..]
creating tests/Makefile
creating tests/atconfig
# make
[..]
make[1]: Entering directory `/lfs/electra/packages/autoconf/build/man'
Updating man page autoscan.1
/bin/sh: /missing: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [autoscan.1] Error 127
AFAIS, this issue is caused by ac_aux_dir missing from the call to
AM_MISSING_PROG in configure.in.
Another related issue is that AM_MISSING_PROG assumes 'missing' to be
executable, which is not true when having checked out autoconf from
sourceware's CVS.
Ralf.
