I back-reved automake and autoconf to these versions by installing
the corresponding rpms.

I'm trying to update configure in gcc/libstdc++-v3.

When I run with the options from Makefile.in, I get a bunch of messages:

$ aclocal -I . -I .. -I ../config

RPM says that autoconf-2.61-9 is not installed, but rpm -qf 
/usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/lang.m4 says that is
provided by both autoconf-2.61-9 and autoconf-2.59-12.  So
I really don't know whether 2.61 has been replaced by 2.59
or not.
