I agree, I've had to upgrade autoconf, it isn't even in last Fedora
release, also if an older autoconf is used, it prints out only a strange
message. 
However I think Mark's primary goal is having Java-Gnome included in the
official list in time, then we should focus on having these major issue
resolved asap.
There is also a todo list for the build system:

There are a few items on the build TODO though:
 - make gcj native builds optional -- at the moment, they are always
   built.
 - improve makefiles for the documentation packages
 - improve location detection of gtk jar file (for e.g. gnome tarball)
 - TEST
 - use autoconf < 2.58 (I'll suggest)
