Thanks Efraim, that worked (with a small modification - I had to use
autoreconf instead of autoconf, since autoconf did not recognize the
-vfi flags), so now the package built successfully.

Do you have any ideas for the other package as well? I still have not
figured out how to build that one. From looking at the autogen.sh script
there seems to be a similar situation here, this script also tries to
execute configure, but replacing the bootstrap phase did not do anything
for this package.
