| I think I know what's wrong.  You're using 'cc' instead of $CC somewhere.  I

That's correct, another user reported exactly the same failure.  I
don't know yet how I will fix this, but it definitely messes up many
tests.

| A few more tests appear to fail when srcdir!=builddir:

Some are probably related to install-sh.  On my machine Autoconf picks
up install, so it doesn't reach the point where it realizes there is
no install-sh around if things go really wrong.  I will look for a fix.

| Some of the new failed tests can't find install-sh.  It should look in
| $srcdir as well.

Hm, well, I should stop answering while reading :) :) :)

| BTW Akim, depcomp is missing from the autoconf distribution, and the build
| process fails unless it's there.  Can you do one of these:

It has been decided that currently Autoconf stick to Automake 1.4,
hence there is no use for depcomp.  We will probably switch to CVS
Automake once it is fixed and stops requiring C stuff (depcomp) for a
package like Autoconf.

| - include depcomp in the distribution
| - make sure you run automake --missing
| - create a "bootstrap" script ala libtool

We don't because the archive contains the distribution in fact.  There
is everything you need in there (Makefile.in etc.).

Thanks for the logs!
