Autoreconf is a Perl script so you might start by using a Perl debugger.

But I just checked, and the string '2.5x' is nowhere in the sources to
Autoconf 2.59.  So I suspect your installation has some local
modifications somehow, perhaps in the DOS port.

Why not simply bootstrap using a GNU/Linux host?  That should save
both your time and ours (certainly ours :-).  Or you can bootstrap on
BSD or Solaris or any number of POSIX platforms.
