 built 9.2-git (d72f7720) a couple of times this week on
linuxfromscratch, based on the commands for 9.1.x in BLFS
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ (Read Online) without any
problems.  Those builds were on LFS-7.4-rc which uses automake-1.14.

 I'll note the following :

1. 9.2-rc2 is now out, so probably better to test that.

2. I provide a /usr/share/automake symlink to whichever version is
installed, i.e. to /usr/share/automake-1.14 on my current build.
Not sure if that makes any difference, it's just something I've
always done.

3. In BLFS we use a patch to build glxinfo and glxgears against the
current Mesa version.  The 9.1 version applies (strictly, I used
9.1.5 but I think 9.1.6 is probably a symlink to the same file).
This means that we *have to* run autoreconf.

4. In -rc2 I see the same problem as you if I just run configure and
then run make.

5. When I built the git version I used autoreconf -fi, apparently
without problems.  I've just tried -rc2  and for some reason the -i
option was rejected the first time, causing autoreconf to not operate.
Without it, I noticed that autoreconf ended in error.  But after that
I was able to configure and start the build.  I've now untarred it
again and successfully run autoreconf -fi.  Go figure!  Followed by
./configure, and make is now compiling various .lo files.

 So I suggest that you run autoreconf -fi ; ./configure

 Not sure if any of the developers actually read this list, but
something seems to be wrong.  I'm not subscribed to the development
list.
