​This is due to "'.' is no longer in @INC", see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/08/msg00013.html​. It
looks like Autoconf needs to be updated for Perl changes.

​This one is due to well known issue:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl
5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE
[^\}]*}/ at
/usr/local/build/autoconf-2.69_rhel_3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64_x86_64.001/bin/autoscan
line 361.

I believe this was discussed here before as well. I thought this was fixed
already.​
