On Sun, May 08, 2005 at 10:33:36PM -0500 I heard the voice of
DaJoob, and lo! it spake thus:

The problem here is that make spawn external shell commands for these,
one per line.  So, it spawns off one shell which runs "cd ${WRKSRC}",
which works, but then that shell exits, so the second command runs in
another shell invocation in the current directory.  You need to put
them together in a single invocation like:

pre-configure:
    (cd ${WRKSRC} && aclocal${USE_AUTOMAKE_VER})

That way they both run sequentially in a single shell, and the aclocal
runs in the right dir.
