I'm seeing something similar with both libSM and with libX11.  I saw  
this about a year ago and it finally solved itself but I would prefer  
to not repeat that.

My error archive is at http://encontacto.net/SHARE/libX11ERRORS.txt,  
I'm running:

# uname -a
7.3-STABLE FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE #1010: Thu May  6 05:36:44 CDT 2010

Again libSM finishes with a very similar error:

../../lib/autoconf/status.m4:1578: _AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP is expanded from...
configure.ac:59: the top level
configure.ac:11: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
configure.ac:11: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
configure.ac:11: with aclocal and run automake again.
/usr/local/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not  
appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
/usr/local/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am:   The usual way to  
define `am__fastdepCC' is to add `AC_PROG_CC'
/usr/local/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am:   to `configure.ac' and  
run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
*** Error code 63

Stop in /new/usr/local/ports/x11/libSM.

Thanks for any help,
