After rebuilding everything, running 'autoreconf' in my cvs project now
works correctly.

For future reference...

All of the above packages are being built with configure being passed
 --prefix=/usr/local/packages/<pkg>/<version>
to make it easier to track what is happening with installed software.

I rebuilt autoconf-2.59 and compared against the previously installed
version. The only differences (using 'diff -ru') were of this form:

- -# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU m4 1.4
+# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU m4 1.4.2

plus the emacs .elc files were different due to timestamp changes inside
the file.

I rebuilt automake-1.9.2 and compared against the previously installed
version and there were no differences at all in the installed files
(using 'diff -ru').

I rebuilt libtool-1.5.10 and compared against the previously installed
version. The new version has three an additonal files:
 libtool/1.5.10/include/ltdl.h
 libtool/1.5.10/info/libtool.info
 libtool/1.5.10/info/dir
There were differences in libtool/1.5.10/lib/libltdl.a
but no differences in the shared version of the library.

Many thanks for your help.
