[clisp-list] clisp build problem - old linux

After getting/building/installing newer m4, autoconf, automake,
libsigsegv, ffcall (also fiddling with PATH),
from cvs clisp directory:
 $  ./configure --disable-maintainer-mode --with-module=rawsock build-dir 
 $ ulimit -s 16384
 $ cd build-dir/ 
 $ make
which ends with
 ...

I got the latest versions of automake,autoconf,m4, btw, which were a
little later than the ones I saw recommended.  So I guess the problem
could be that something is too new, as well as that something is too 
old, or that there's something recently broken in clisp source.
