After upgrade autoconf from 1.13 to 2.57, I experienced some problems - HELP

[J.R. Yang \(jryang\)]

Hi,
 
I did some search on the web and found some solutions to some of the
known issues. I was able to run buildconf, and ./configure scripts. The
libtool was created in proper places. However, when I start the
compiling ("make"), I got some errors in C code and C++ code.
 
In C code base, I got some warnings (which turned into Error, -Werror
option)
In C++ code base, there're lot of errors look like this:
 
/usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/locale_facets.h: At global scope:
/usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/locale_facets.h:1348: ISO C++ forbids
in-class
   initialization of non-const static member `intl'
/usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/locale_facets.h: In instantiation of
`std::moneypunct<char, true>':
/usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/locale_facets.h:1461:   instantiated from
here
/usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/locale_facets.h:1348: ISO C++ forbids
in-class
   initialization of non-const static member `std::moneypunct<char,
true>::intl
   '

Did anyone out there experience the same problem? 
 
Thanks in advance!
