Build Fail due to wrong autoconf Macros

[wishi]

Hi!

Issue:
The current Git version is broken and cannot be built due to misuse of Macros.

System:
Arch Linux environment
autoconf 2.69-1
libtool 2.4.2-10

Log:

It looks like you are missing pkg-config macros, at the very least.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I am trying to build mx in order to build finalterm and I'm getting this problem.
