This is due to a recent configure.ac change by Eric. I was advised to use 
autoreconf instead of autoconf or run aclocal before autoconf (see the 
discussion in bug #33741).

Alternatively, you might go ahead and copy /usr/share/autoconf/pkg.m4 to the 
config directory, add it to the repository, and add builtin(include, 
config/pkg.m4) to the top of configure.ac (which is the way things are handled 
for ICU).
