[asterisk-dev] 1.4svn bootstrap.sh fails with autoconf 2.59

[Anthony Lamantia]

the error you are getting is more or less caused by these three lines in
acinclude.m4

     _AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK(SED, [sed gsed],
        [_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH([ac_path_SED], [ac_cv_path_SED],
                ["$ac_path_SED" -f conftest.sed])])])

you will either need to remove them or upgrade your version of autoconf
