Your last issue relates to the version of autoconf you are running as
per the first output above. do an
automake --version
autoconf --version
if you dont have autoconf 2.5+ and automake 1.6+ try doing an
export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 or
export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1
and
export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.6 or
export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7

Then redo the version check and hopefully its made a difference. If not,
you need to upgrade your autoconf/automakes.
