This error happens when you wind up rebuilding some of the
Make/autoconf files and you have an older version of automake or
autoconf. At least, I noticed this on my system. This happens
because the build system tries to be 'smart' and checks will rebuild
the build files if necessary. Due to the way CVS works, when you
first checkout the sources, the timestamps on the build files might be
in the wrong order, which causes them to get rebuilt.
If you run a 'cvs -nq up' to see what files changed, you can just
'rm' those few build files (a few Makefile.in files, IIRC), and then
grab them from CVS again.
Ideally, there should be a command to prepare the sources from CVS
(namely, touching the appropriate files in the right order) so this
type of thing doesn't happen. Alternatively, you can upgrade your
version of automake and autoconf.
