I try to understand where the problem comes from, but I don't see at the 
moment. 

I generate the tar.gz source package by doing the same thing as Rohnny.

I do a checkout, I compile everything, and I use 'make dist' (with a tweak so 
that symlinks are preserved).

Here is the versions installed on my Mandriva 2007:
* aclocal 1.9.6
* autoconf 2.59
* autoheader 2.59
* automake 1.9.6

aclocal generates the aclocal.m4 file that contains all m4 macros needed for 
making the configure script from configure.ac. To do that, it analyzes the 
configure.ac file to put only the needed macros, and not all ones.

With a few google search, it seems that you must install automale 1.9.x. As 
you have automake 1.4 and automake 1.9 installed on your system, I suggest 
that you check that you use the 1.9 version when running ./reconf.

Just type automake --version to see that. I think you use the 1.4 by default, 
and so you get these errors.
