We have Fedora 7 installation and the default installation for
autoconf (i.e., the installation for executable /usr/bin/autoconf)
is 2.61 so we can't use that to reproduce your problem.

If you just run "aclocal110 -I config" from the top XORP directory
do you still get the same error?

If you haven't solved the problem yet, can you try pointing
/usr/bin/autoconf to autoconf261. This might not be the cleanest
solution, but it appears that /usr/bin/autoconf is invoked in some
indirect way (e.g., either via aclocal110 or some other program
autotool-related program called by aclocal110).
