Hi,

We have automake packaged, but it's not compatible with older autoconf 
versions so autoconf is not very usable at this point.

```
Ekaitz <at> tuxedo ~/projects/nlnet/gcc/libstdc++-v3 (riscv)$ guix shell 
automake autoconf <at> 2.64
Ekaitz <at> tuxedo ~/projects/nlnet/gcc/libstdc++-v3 (riscv) [env]$ 
autoreconf -vif
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I . -I .. -I ../config

aclocal: error: autom4te failed with exit status: 63
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 63
```

Is this only my thing?
