Description:
------------
hi,

i'm bldg php-cvs OSX 10.4.2.

% ./buildconf

reports:

...
buildconf: autoconf version 2.59 (ok)
buildconf: Your version of autoconf likely contains buggy 
cache code.
           Running cvsclean for you.
           To avoid this, install autoconf-2.13 and 
automake-1.5.
...

despite, on my sys:

% automake --version
	automake (GNU automake) 1.9.5
% autoconf --version
	autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

There's nothing wrong with the warning. 
Also: you should not run buildconf for PHP yourself. 
Use the snapshots if you want to use bleeding edge.

just so i'm clear abt build/pkg-ing ...

do you INTEND to recommend installing a version of automake 
from 2001?

   http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/
   automake-1.5.tar.gz 23-Aug-2001 10:50   515k 

as opposed to a recent (1.9.5), let alone current (1.9.6), 
releases?

as for running ./buildconf, from your own INSTALL:

   From here, build PHP as normal:

    $ cd /your/phpsrcdir
--> $ ./buildconf
    $ ./configure --help
