You must be careful how to call configure and like; so it most
probably an error in configure.ac/Makefile.am or how you are calling
the configure script.

I use autotools based projects in toolchain daily at our projects and
customer projects and it works fine. Without further research in logs
and code access it is hard to do a better bet.
