Autoconf catch 22

Subject: Autoconf catch 22
Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none

Something is rotten in the way autoconf has been configured in binutils.

I needed to bootstrap, so I run:

$ autoreconf

and I get:

 configure.ac:25: error: Please use exactly Autoconf 2.64 instead of 2.69.

Fine.  I use 2.64 as instructed:

$ autoreconf2.64

and get:

 configure.ac:35: error: Autoconf version 2.65 or higher is required

This is a contradiction !!!!!
