Yep, dunno what happened, I had this on fbsd as well.
Just do a forced reinstall of autoconf<whatever-versions-you-need>.

Yes, there are some changes in structures in dragonfly,
most of it can be fixed straightforward.
Some things require changes ala rusage - see David Rhodus' answer to
my question on p_runtime.

I considered doing this at least for the gnome2 part,
but I'm sure there are more talented persons out there.
Besides that, by now, I'd rather wait until the x11-shuffeling is done
and deal with the ports that are available *then*.

And as a sidestep it would be nice to have something like
__DRAGONFLY__.

Cheers
Peter
