The Jenkins server is running a rather old CentOS 5 distro, and has the
following installed:

autoconf: 2.59
automake: 1.9.6

and those are the *newest* versions of those packages available in the
yum repos.  I tried looking for newer RPMs from CentOS 6, but the
autoconf RPMs only go to 2.63.  So I've built and installed RPMs using
the latest automake and autoconf tarballs and tweaked versions of the
CentOS 5 .spec files.

Fingers crossed for the next build.
