Looking at the git history, AS_ECHO was introduced after autoconf version 2.61, and was first available in autoconf 2.62 (there's a 2.61a tag, but I don't see a corresponding tarball on ftp.gnu.org). Autoconf 2.61 is almost 5 years old; you may wish to try a newer version. Also, you may want to advise the maintainers of this package to increase the minimum autoconf version from 2.54, since apparently they require at least 2.62. The second error is very likely just fallout from the first, and it will go away with an autoconf version that supports AS_ECHO.
