You don't need a newer version of automake. Leave the system autoconf alone; install the latest stable autoconf in /usr/local from a release tarfile; and make sure /usr/local/bin is at the front of your PATH when building Emacs. If ultra-paranoid, install autoconf in a non-standard location that is not normally in your PATH, but only when you build Emacs.
