Hmm, are you sure you've rebuilt configure using 2.13? I can't recreate 
this error with either version of autoconf on RH7.3, but I notice that my 
2.13-generated configure is only 7389 lines long (vs 12902 for 2.53).

To be absolutely certain, I'd suggest completely nuking your build dir, 
untarring the source distro again, then copying in the configure.in from 
CVS and rerunning autoconf 2.13. Yes, I know it sounds superstitious, but 
it's got me out of a few holes in the past :-)
