I started with a new source tree, removed AC_PROG_SYSCONFTOOL from 
configure.in (otherwise autoreconf fails as it is not defined anywhere, 
maybe I shouldn't do this, but if I don't remove it is just throws up a 
warning when running configure).

Fixed makedat/Makefile.am to look like:

-----

# $Id: Makefile.am,v 1.5 2004/09/08 01:27:34 mrsam Exp $
#
# Copyright 1998 - 2004 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for
# distribution information.

AUTOMAKE = srcdir=${srcdir} @SHELL@ ${srcdir}/../automake.fix @AUTOMAKE@

noinst_PROGRAMS=@makedatprog_target@

EXTRA_PROGRAMS=makedatprog$(EXEEXT)

makedatprog_SOURCES=makedatprog.c
makedatprog_DEPENDENCIES=@dblibrary@
makedatprog_LDADD=@dblibrary@ @LIBGDBM@ @LIBDB@

-----

Then I ran the following commands:

-----

for file in $(ls -l | grep ^d | cut -c45- | grep -v cache)
do
   cd $file
   touch AUTHORS
   touch ChangeLog
   touch NEWS
   touch README
   aclocal
   cd ..
done; autoreconf --install --force --verbose

./configure --without-authldap

make

-----

But the result is still the same makedat fails exactly the same, what am 
I doing wrong.

Sorry for this long drawn out problem.
