You shouldn't need the cvs autoconf.
You should need Perl 5.
Ossama> $ ./configure
Ossama> loading cache ./config.cache

Ossama> checking whether build environment is sane... yes

You'd have to look at the configure code, see what is wrong, and then
trace it back to the m4 macro. It might be a bug in the autoconf you
are using. Hard to say without more info.
