I didn't know that miller is still providing dist tarballs (even when not using git to clone the sources, these days I mostly just grab the tarballs from GitHub...)

in any case: this won't help much, as we are taking about a branch (on top of the last release) that has modifications to the build system (so configure and friends do have to be regenerated)

yes that is what needs to be done.

the dependencies to generate the build system are: autoconf, automake & libtool

@Wolfgang you couldn't run autoreconf on the octane (which was kind of expected), but you got "similar errors" on your Linux box. 
without knowing the actual errors, I guess they were different enough and actually referred to a missing "libtool" installation (which I think is the most common mistake to make).

as for`autoreconf` vs `autogen.sh`: the latter is really just a wrapper around the former that has some fallback mechanism to manually call `autoconf`, `automake`, `aclocal` & `libtool`.

so if you can, you can also just run `autoreconf -fiv` *instead*.
