Oops, sorry I did not read your first email carefully enough.

The problem might be that you are working in an old build directory from
before we switched away from --enable-maintainer-mode?

Can you try running configure from a fresh build directory and seeing if
that works?  You should not need to run bootstrap, but if you do, it looks
like you will also need to install GNU M4 on your system.  On Ubuntu,
"apt-get install m4", for example.
