If you have a temporary build of Autoconf, and want to use it without installing it, start "make check", and when it tries to create "tests/testsuite" (or when the testsuite is fired), hit Ctrl-C (perhaps several times). Then you can use the tests/autoconf--a wrapper which ensures that the just built autoconf is used consistently. So if you put $your_build_dir/tests in front of your PATH before performing other experiments, things should work consistently.
