Well, I just checked out current cvs and used regen.sh with the above 
versions of automake and autoconf (using encaps from www.encap.org) and 
the binaries produced seem to work and I'm not having that strange 
salvage problem.

I will try with the newer versions again to eliminate changes within CVS 
as the cause of the error.

What sort of info would be useful for this bug report?  I have output 
from regen, configure and make for both the non-working and the working 
versions.
