It does.  The actual fix was to change

  autoconf --autoconf-dir $top_srcdir

to 

  autoconf --autoconf-dir ..

since autoconf wants the .m4f file, which is in the build tree.  It
removes one failing testcase in a non-srcdir build.

While at it, I made the autoconf invocation agree with every other
autoconf invocation in the file.

That is a bigger patch, and independent of this fix.  I could send it
in if you want.
