Leaving this here because I'm not sure if it's curl at fault or automake 1.13 (but I suspect the latter). Running curl's buildconf (aka autogen.sh) bombs when it runs aclocal, with 2 independent errors:

buildconf: autoconf version 2.69 (ok)
buildconf: autom4te version 2.69 (ok)
buildconf: autoheader version 2.69 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.13 (ok)
buildconf: aclocal version 1.13 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 2.4.2 (ok)
buildconf: GNU m4 version 1.4.16 (ok)
buildconf: running libtoolize
buildconf: converting all mv to mv -f in local m4/libtool.m4
buildconf: running aclocal

Narrowed this down to curl-override.m4 in the m4/ subdir of curl. They actually override an automake macro, which causes the bizzare behavior... uggh.
