We fixed some autotool stuff upstream, so you might want to give 1.4.33
a try; https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:http/lighttpd
contains an updated package 1.4.33-0.1 (based on current master from
git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-lighttpd/lighttpd.git)

I'm not sure what --with=autotools_dev does exactly, but I'd like to
point out that autoconf is often incompatible across versions (have a
look at 1.4.33 configure.ac to see some horrible macros for more
"compatible" stuff), and I recommend to stick with the scripts
generated upstream.

You are welcome to help us improve the upstream release process; I
think the autotools fail to update outdated helper scripts - you
actually have to manually remove them.

regards,
Stefan
