The Mir Ports project also includes automake 1.9.6, but that's the extent of pre-compiled builds provided by the distro. (Obviously, they aren't aware of the security bugs in only providing such old versions).By the way, MirBSD's stock autoconf is equally broken in the same manner (and the valid pre-installed choices there are 2.13 and 2.61, and lack of AUTOCONF_VERSION in the environment gives 0 exit status without a valid version string).Yep. OpenBSD, too.
Thankfully, it was rather painless to install stock automake 1.11.1 and autoconf 2.67 onto the machine at a point in PATH earlier than the broken wrapper scripts, and once those were in place, I was able to bootstrap and test directly from autoconf.git. (Getting a working git installed was the harder proposition. Among other things, MirBSD's <sys/select.h> is broken if you define _POSIX_C_SOURCE as git does, because fd_set is defined only when you do not request POSIX compliance; and the git port in /usr/ports failed to build.)
