Hi there!
Enrico: thank you for your input, I've only installed the latest Xcode!
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.
