After updating autoconf to 2.70 I can no longer build devel/automake
on macOS 10.15.7:

checking whether autoconf is installed... yes
checking whether autoconf works... no

config.log:

configure:3113: checking whether autoconf works
configure:3121: cd conftest && autoconf -o /dev/null conftest.ac
unknown channel m4trace: -1- _m4_warn(syntax, AC_OUTPUT was never used, )

configure:3124: $? = 1
configure:3133: result: no
configure:3136: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.
    Please check config.log for error messages before this one.


On NetBSD 9.99.77 (amd64) I don't have this issue.

Latest automake from git builds on macOS.

To build automake from pkgsrc I have to run:

1. bmake extract

2. Apply the patch from:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=ccb57553e3433df3e52e534e6f87915db23ff9a5

3. Run ./bootstrap or autoreconf in work/automake-1.16.3

4. Run bmake in devel/automake
