These are completely errors during the ./buildgen.sh process.  I'm
really curious if there are errors during this step.  When autoconf
doesn't understand one of the macros used in configure.ac, it often
just lets it drop through to the end configure script, and then you
get funky errors like the above, when it tries to run the macro
instead of having actual code to run.

This seems to have happened with the AM_ICONV macro and the AX_C_CHECK_FLAG
macro, which seems to indicate there's something really broken with
autoconf on Fedora 11, or there is something new that ./buildgen.sh
hasn't taken into account.

As an experiment, try the following on a clean git clone:

        ./buildgen.sh cleanall
        ./buildgen.sh

Does this create a working configure?  Do you always run ./buildgen.sh
as the same user?

If not, try this:

        ./buildgen.sh cleanall
        autoreconf -ifv

Thanks,
