vorbis-tools won't work unless used with autoconf-2.53 on Redhat 7.3

Hi, I freshly checked out from CVS HEAD the following three modules
ogg
vorbis
vorbis-tools

I am using Redhat Linux 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-4. It has both autoconf (2.13)
and autoconf (2.53) installed on the system. autoconf 2.13 is the default

I can autogen.sh inside the ogg and vorbis directly and install them into the
desired prefix. Whilst doing the same in vorbis-tools, I get the following error

/autogen.sh --help
Generating configuration files for vorbis-tools, please wait....
  aclocal 
  libtoolize --automake
  automake --add-missing 
automake: configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
automake: configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
automake: configure.in: installing `./missing'
  autoconf
./configure: line 217: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
./configure: line 217: ` ac_optarg= ;;'

Now, I setup my shell so that autoconf refers to autoconf-2.53, then I get no
failure though I get this warning

configure.in:29: warning: AC_CANONICAL_HOST invoked multiple times
