Details:

This has originally been filed at Gentoo downstream:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/753023

autoreconf fails to find its config.{guess,sub} and install-sh files because
when autoconf-2.69d is being installed with --program-suffix="-suffix"
configure option that adds version suffix
to the build-aux files as well:

/usr/share/autoconf-2.69d/build-aux/config.guess-suffix
/usr/share/autoconf-2.69d/build-aux/config.sub-suffix
/usr/share/autoconf-2.69d/build-aux/install-sh-suffix

but autoreconf is looking for the unversioned files.
