Couldn't agree more!
The painful time I spent on Solaris side to make autogen.sh work for me
until I found in the end that I need to ask my sysadmin to upgrade
to m4 version 1.4.2 ...

Subject: RE: Problem compiling on FreeBSD 5.3
It's not just a header problem or I wouldn't even ask.
The autogen.sh will not run on FreeBSD. And in fact shouldn't even have to
run. The configure script should already be generated when the tar.gz was
packaged so that all anyone has to do is run configure then make and so
on... The autogen.sh shell script is there to generate this configure,
which is backward. The whole point of using configure is to bypass
difficulties in compiling the same source on different systems. Having to
run autogen.sh as the first step pretty much goes back to the core issues
of why configure was developed in the first place.
Now onto why FreeBSD has an issue, which specifically has to do with the
autoconf, automake, aclocal, etc. that exist in the autogen.sh. FreeBSD
has multiple versions of these installed for various reasons so there is
no single link which means that the autogen.sh script has to be edited
manually but then which version should be used?
The real solution is to get rid of the autogen.sh shell script and post a
tar.gz with a configure that does what it is suppose to do, which is deal
with platform differences. I some what belive that there was an error
packaging the 0.9.7 version and that in fact they meant to generate a
tar.gz with the configure already generated by the projects maintainers
but that something was missed.
Anyone have an opinion, flaming aside.

You can modified the source code to solve it. It's only a header file's
problem.
