Make sure your configure scripts haven't been regenerated at some point - 
that they are the same as in the repository - and that they have 
timestamps more recent than the corresponding configure.in files so they 
don't get regenerated by the build system.

All the configure scripts need to be generated by the same autoconf 
version, and your report indicated that your source tree has some 
generated by different versions.  As far as I know trunk and recent 
branches have this correct, though it has been broken briefly at some 
points in the past (one such was fixed on 2008-04-15, shortly before 2.8 
branch was created).  It's possible there are configure scripts for 
obscure directories not widely used that are broken for longer.
