As the maintainer I've tried to replicate this but haven't had much
success.  The following patch was sent to me by Edward Sutton privately
but I haven't been able to properly test it.  Would you be willing to
try it out and let me know if it works?  If so I'll send a PR in for it.

This was required to make autogen.sh stop detecting autoconf as 1.10
which later interrupted the build process.
