Arch Linux

Description:

Trying to build libxcb, I get the following error:
[...]

Aborting...

From digging around in the generated configure script, it appears to be related to $ac_aux_dir not being set, which would point to a problem with autoconf.
I get the same error when I manually unpack the tarball and run the commands to patch and build, even in a cleaned environment (`env -i HOME=/home/miki`).

I'm reporting this bug to Arch and not (yet) upstream, because the build documentation for XCB[1] clearly states to use automake 1.7 and autoconf 2.50, and Arch's automake and autoconf are obviously much newer.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
libxcb 1.9.1-1
automake 1.14-1
autoconf 2.69-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
$ makepkg
