Seems your timestamps are wrong.  Either get autoconf, or re-extract
the tar file, being sure not to touch the stamps.  If after a fresh
extraction you still get the problem, you can either try and track the
problem down, or just grab autoconf.

Should work, but can't say for certain.

--with-headers== is the one that comes to mind.

Other people have built it up and used it, so I am thinking that it
should work in the end for you.
