Follow-up Comment #4, sr #110397 (project autoconf):
The aclocal command is part of automake; you need existing installed copies of
both autoconf and automake to run autoreconf -iv on either autoconf or
automake. It's kinda the same thing as needing a C compiler already before
you can build gcc. Normally this is only an issue if you're doing development
on these tools, though, because the tarball releases include pre-generated
copies of all the files that are generated by autoreconf -iv.
Is there a macOS machine that you could give me remote shell access to? I
don't understand how Homebrew works particularly, but I could at least debug
the upstream build process for autoconf and automake in that environment. I
can provide you with SSH keys.
