You don't need autoconf etc to run dejagnu.  These are needed only if 
you want to do development work on dejagnu itself.

You only need expect and tcl to run dejagnu.

Just start with one of the existing simulator files in the baseboards 
directory, like mips-sim.exp, copy it to your target name, e.g. 
score-sim.exp, modify as appropriate, and then run the testsuite via
   make -k check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=score-sim.exp"
and hopefully it should work.  You can add -v options to RNUTESTFLAGS to 
help debug testsuite issues.  The more -v options you add, the more 
debugging output you get.
