Yes, I read that file and the portion:

   The next step is to run autoreconf, ./configure, etc:

   $ make bootstrap

lead  me to  think that  running "autoreconf"  is the  first
thing to do.  Anyway, running "make bootstrap" raises errors
about  missing  AM_PROG_AR,  so  I  have  added  it  to  the
configure.ac file; but this is not enough:

$ make bootstrap
for f in po/*.po.in lib/po/*.po.in; do \
        cp $f `echo $f | sed 's/.in//'`; \
done
mv lib/build-aux/config.rpath lib/build-aux/config.rpath-
touch ChangeLog lib/ChangeLog
test -f ./configure || autoreconf --install
