This is very strange. In one of your past messages autoreconf says:

% autoreconf
configure.ac:291: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
       If this token and others are legitimate, please use  
m4_pattern_allow.
       See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:292: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
configure.ac:293: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

autoreconf: /usr/local/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


That is to say you are running an autoconf installed in /usr/*local*/ 
bin/autoconf.

However, XCode does not install autoconf (or automake) in /usr/local,  
but in /usr.
You have either heavily customized the XCode installation stage or  
you *did* install an additional autoconf.
I'm not even sure you can tell XCode to install stuff in /usr/local  
without manually editing the installation scripts contained in the .pkg.

Moreover, that error is absolutely typical of configurations with  
multiple autotools installed.
I had that very same error and fixed it as I suggested.
