Autogen warnings under FreeBSD 14.1-p5 AMD64

[thegushi]

Under FreeBSD, the normal way to install these tools is via the "ports" system, but it's clear that there have been some recent changes that cause build failures.

autogen.sh against master 986c22f yields the following output.

+ aclocal -I config
+ autoheader
+ libtoolize --force --automake --copy
+ automake --gnu --include-deps --copy --add-missing
