Provided you have the correct versions of autoconf and automake, as indicated, just running autoreconf certainly works.
Not for me. :-(

Autoreconf gives the same errors from aclocal.

Since you had problems using RPMs for the older tools, I suggest you download and install vanilla autotools into a different --prefix; get them from ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf and /automake. To avoid yourself hassles, use the same prefix for both of them.

After building/installing autoconf-2.59 and automake-1.6.9 into version-specific directories, I'm able to regenerate the configure scripts. Thanks all for the help.

I've noticed a problem with the patch:
  if test "${with_newlib+set}" = set; then
    AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
  fi

The test always succeeds.  When $with_newlib is "yes",
${with_newlib+set} is "set".

If I change this to the old style test
  if test "x$with_newlib" = x; then
    AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
  fi
then it works as expected.

This is weird.  I see the former idiom everywhere in configure.
The tests can't all be failing.
