which Perl and M4 versions do you use?
Perl : 5.10.0
M4 : 1.4.13
When I have both LT_INIT and AC_SUBST macros inside my
"configure.ac", autoreconf fails:
$ autoreconf -vif
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
Use of uninitialized value $msg in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/bin/autom4te line 1038.
This is very suspicious, more so since 2.64 has a comment in that line.
Does Ubuntu have local patches in its Autoconf tree not in upstream?
Indeed, ubuntu's autom4te (current version 2.64-1ubuntu1) turns out to
be different from the original 2.64. In ubuntu's version, line 1038 is
the following:
msg $cat, $loc, "warning: $msg";
Here is the diff between the original autom4te and the ubuntu version:

I don't know if this is useful, but here is the Changelog for Ubuntu's
autoconf package:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/a/autoconf/autoconf_2.64-1ubuntu1/changelog
Thanks,
