Details:

$ cat configure.in
AC_INIT(test, [1.0], address@hidden)
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD
AC_OUTPUT
$ autoreconf -s -i
$ ./configure 
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.."
"./../.."

Note that AC_CANONICAL_TARGET and AC_CANONICAL_HOST do not work any better.
Also the config.guess and config.sub files are missing too. It seems that,
although those are autoconf macros, they cannot work unless automake is used
to install all the required files.

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
