Error rebuilding glibc from SRPM

[Net Llama!]

No, i think yo'ure correct.  You need to back-rev autoconf to the latest
version that Caldera provides.  It shouldn't hurt anything, other than
anything else that you might try to build in the future.  And if so, you
can always upgrade it again.

I suspect that if I back out that update and install Caldera's autoconf/automake, I can get around this error. My question is, is there another way? (or am I off base?)
