Yes, autoconf-2.53 has a 'feature' called autom4te.cache which fails
to update when any m4 dependency is changed.  Therefore, yes, it is
very buggy and autoconf 2.53 and higher should be avoided at all
costs.  The only solution is to manually remove autom4te.cache to get
a correct configure script built.  This, of course, negates the
purpose of the cache entirely.  -- justin
