Fair enough, and thanks for pointing it out.  I did a jingle with my versions of autoconf as the Debian repository is 
at 2.61, and ended up going back to 2.61 after running under 2.64 for some unknown reason... looks like that's the 
cause of my bungle.  Tossing autoconf altogether from the process works smashingly.

Thanks Michael.
