I am running 2.13 (even on a clean checkout of 7.1.3) and the autoconf
takes forever.  However,  m4 is the process that's running forever,  so I
have no doubs that the problem is there.  What version do you use that
works?  I'll try getting a new version...  Any ideas where to look for a
solution though?
