This looks suspiciously like something else is broken - try re-emerging m4, autoconf and automake and see if that helps?
downgrading autoconf from 2.58 to 2.57-r1 did the trick. interesting bug though, the autom4te script from 2.58 actually doesn't parse, at least with perl 5.8.2.
0.11 does not need autoconf anylonger -> close :)
