Lots of people have responded, guess you already have some clues
what to do.

I just want to add that on my system (SuSE linux), I've seen the
*exact* same errormessage when I first tried to compile crossfire
after the automake patch.

The reason is simply your automake version is too old.
Newer versions of automake also need autoconf.
So you need to install:
1) Newest version of autoconf,
2) then newest version of automake (override or delete former version).

See:

Installation was pretty simple. After that I had no more troubles
compiling newest versions of crossfire.
