I gave that a shot and it doesn't work, but I see now that I may have
messed up my tree a little bit.  In diffing aclocal.m4, I noticed that
it was very different than the 0.5g aclocal.m4.  I  think I
accidentally generated some new scripts with some invokation of
automake, autoconf, or aclocal, which overwrote the old scripts that
had been working before.  I will back out these changes and test
again.
