It is perhaps worth noting that gcc 3.3.3 did not use autoconf in the
top level directory.  The configure script there is actually the old
Cygnus configure script.  Running autoconf there would be a mistake.

The top level directory was not converted to autoconf until the 3.4
release.

The way to tell is to look at the first few lines of configure, for a
line like
    # Generated automatically using autoconf version XXXX
