Build Log

Found the relevant part of the log:

configure.in:9: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete.
:info:build     You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.
:info:build /opt/local/share/aclocal-1.13/obsolete-err.m4:12: AM_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded from...
:info:build configure.in:9: the top level
:info:build autom4te: /opt/local/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1
:info:build aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
:info:build autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
:info:build make[1]: *** [contrib/a52dec/.stamp.configure] Error 1
:info:build make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

It's an automake-1.13 error; the fix for these issues is pretty standard.
