Actually it's simpler than that, and automake 1.8 breaks too :
configure does:
configure:1825: eval autoconf --version
Provide an AUTOCONF_VERSION environment variable, please
configure:1828: $? = 127
So, automake ports should build_depends on the needed version of
autoconf, and CONFIGURE_ENV+= AUTOCONF_VERSION=${AUTOCONF_VERSION}
should be added too.
