As I'm the one who did the patches that broke your development environment
I'd like to help you to get it working again.
As I'm not familiar with Mac OS the only thing I can do is to point you to
the new RAEDME.macos for help. In case you try that and post problem reports
along the way we may fix the problems with the help of those who have it
working again and update the REAMDE.macos accordingly.
On Linux, I hope I'll be able to help you. You wrote:

>From this list (and the autoconf detection script) it looks like the
only tool that is too old is automake. So what you could do is to grab
a current version of automake (either 1.7.9 or 1.8.x), run configure
(don't run autoconf, your autoconf is too old) and install the stuff
into /usr/local. After that remove /usr/local/bin/automake to avoid
acidentally running the wrong automake version. After that change
autogen.sh from "AUTOMAKE=automake" to "AUTOMAKE=automake-1.7". This
should get you going again (I don't know enough about mandrake to
know whether they support alternative automake versions out of the
box, thus the method with autogen.sh).

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
