Go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/, and download and install  a
newer version of autoconf.

You shouldn't actually need to run autoconf even when building from a
CVS checkout, because we keep the generated "configure" file in CVS as
well. Unless you have edited configure.in, you can just do "./configure;
make install"
