In other words, is this autoconf for the target or for the host? In any case, you'll need to provide more info - What is your .config, and what make target is failing?

I encountered the same bug, as also described here
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-October/029964.html
I modified /buildroot/package/autoconf and reverted to 2.63 (from 2.64) and the problem was resolved.

Same issue with BR2009.08, working now with BR2009.11.
Please try latest git (or latest snapshot if git access is an issue) - The latest autoconf changes are post-2009.11.
