Autoconf finds a Fortran compiler, gfortran, but the programs compiled
with it don't run because libgfortran isn't found by the runtime linker.
Do you have gfortran installed manually, or in an unusual location?
Then besides adjusting PATH to find the compiler binary, you also need
to tell ld.so where to find the libraries; you can do that either by
adding the respective $prefix/lib directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or by
putting it in /etc/ld.so.conf, so that it will be searched by default.

BTW, the alpha release Autoconf-2.59c is out; it would be great if you
could test that as well:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.59c.tar.gz

Cheers, and thanks,
Ralf
