I misgave my autoconf version. Debian unstable uses some runtime autodetecting that looks at the extensions to configure scripts. If gimp needs autoconf 2.50 it should be using configure.ac if i remember correctly, .in is depreciated and associated with 2.13. Perhaps that's part of the reason why this error is occuring for me. I do have the latest gnu building environment that debian unstable offers. That is 2.52 .
