The very first thing causes errors and a message that Autoconf 2.13 should be 
replaced by Autoconf 2.5 as below.

However, went I went to remove Autoconf in Mandrake 9.2 it said:
"-- PLEASE NOTICE ---> this version is meant to coexist with autoconf-2.5x; to 
that end, the various binaries are actually linked to a script which decides 
which version to execute. It tries to be clever and will execute 2.5x if 
`configure.ac' is present, or if `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the 
value's 3 first letters are stringwise greater than '2.1'. If anything fails, 
you can manually select 2.13 by providing the environment variable 
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1 set to `1' (use WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 if you want the 2.5x 
version)."

here are the Comments from
*** YOU'RE USING AUTOCONF 2.13. We suggest updating.
*** autoconf 2.5x works best for now, we will drop
*** support for autoconf 2.13 soon.
*** Creating acinclude.m4
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the
    environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"
*** Creating aclocal.m4
*** Creating configure
