I include a printout for the action to use autoreconf-2.59 and
   autoreconf-2.62 on a freshly unpacked inetutils-1.8.tar.gz.  No
   manipulation on any file after unpacking, not even a touch to get a
   more recent time stamp. These actions are taking place in OpenBSD
   4.6.

Thanks.  Why do you need to run autoreconf with a released version of
inetutils?

   In the first case, using autoreconf-2.59, the claim

      configure.ac:29: error: Autoconf version 2.62 or higher is
      required

[...]

   $ export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9

configure.ac:29 is regarding automake, and we require automake 1.11.
Seems that the error message is totally bollocks.  Can you try with a
automake 1.11 or later?
