In your own project, modifying AutoRegen.sh to check for your  
preferred version ought to be safe. Fixing any warnings you get is  
recommended.

Unless you require configuration checks beyond those done for LLVM,  
you might want to consider a setup similar to Clang: Place your code  
in a subdirectory of ‘tools’, edit the Makefile there to include  
your code, and compile it as part of LLVM.

As Anton Korobeynikov indicated, this seems to be a bug in your  
installation of either Automake or the program program providing the  
‘oaf.m4’ file.

For what it's worth, I plan on submitting some changes to the build  
system shortly, and I intend the first patch to be upgrading the  
required versions of Autoconf and Automake.
