There is indeed a bug in autoconf 2.13, but autoconf 2.53 is even buggier.
It broke many things for people trying to install 4.2.0. The easy solution
for solaris users is to run:
CC=gcc ./configure ...
That should solve the problem.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.2.1 build problems on Solaris (plus fix)
Hi,
I got into trouble building PHP 4.2.1 with the option
'--with-openssl=[myopenssldir]' on Solaris 2.8. The 'configure'
script failed with
checking for OpenSSL version... configure failed: openssl > 0.9.5 is
required
even if a correct version of openssl 0.9.6c exists. This is
a bug because PHP 4.2.0 will build without any problems using
exactly the same 'configure' parameters.
I discovered the build failure is due to the change of the autoconf version
from PHP 4.2.0 to PHP 4.2.1 that created the 'configure' script.
The result is that PHP 4.2.1 builds may fail on Solaris.
Here is my fix. You have to install the latest GNU m4/autoconf/automake
utilities from ftp.gnu.org on your Solaris machine and re-run
'autoconf' in the PHP 4.2.1 build directory to re-create a
correct 'configure' script.
I installed
GNU m4 1.4
GNU Autoconf 2.53
GNU Automake 1.6
Now, 'configure' will work as expected.
If this can be confirmed, a note in the INSTALL file would be appreciated.
