Looking at the source code¹ it looks like the included autoconf script
tries to execute configure. This doesn't work because between the
bootstrap phase and the configure phase we have a phase to adjust the
locations of /bin/sh and other binaries. I'd suggest overriding the
'bootstrap phase with something like:
(replace 'bootstrap
(lambda _
(invoke "autoconf" "-vfi")))
