Try removing the files under the gnubg/m4 directory that are already 
present elsewhere on your system. In particular gnubg/m4/gettext.m4. On my 
system I have:

/usr/share/aclocal/gettext.m4
/home/anthon/gnubg/gnubg/m4/gettext.m4

and so I need to remove the latter. (Your paths may differ)

Then issue the following commands:

aclocal -I m4
autoconf
autoheader
automake
./configure
make

It seems that the autoconf system is out of sync somehow. I down think it 
should be running the aclocal -I m4 on every install. But I'm no expert. 
Perhaps somebody should try removing gettext.m4 and then running the the 4 
auto-commands and committing to cvs.
