Seems that it's a single Perl error that causes every one of the
failures.

Not particularly; autoconf comes with a set of lisp packages that
make it a bit easier to edit autoconf files (color coding and such).
The lispdir test is to find out where they should be installed.
autoconf does not _need_ Emacs for anything (of course, [some](1) people
consider Emacs to be the One True Editor, so your life would be more
fulfilled if you have it installed :-)).

Looks like either we always stat on a 'bad' filename, and this version
of SunOS is the only one to complain so far, or your setup adds
unexpected newlines to the mix.
The snapshot I have installed (some form of 2.52g) never seems to get a
filename with a newline, so it might be a bug in your Perl.
(1) Normally, I'd say "all sane people", but I wish to avoid a
vi-vs-emacs flame war ;-)
