Hi Andrew, thanks for the testing and feedback. So it seems the outdated texinfo version was the problem, and the old m4 could have caused problems later on. Hence I have now fixed the autoconf and autoconf2.6 packages to depend on the latest versions of texinfo and m4, to make sure this problem won't pop up for other people.
