Comment(by Zignal64@…):

 I started getting the same error with the recent release of autoconf v2.66
 in trying to build mplayer.

 "if this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow."

 Loaded macports on one system June 26 2010 no issues.


 Loaded macports today July 4 2010 on another system and started receiving
 the error.

 Both systems fresh install of 10.6.3 updated to 10.6.4 with Xcode 3.2.2

 Build process still works on the June 26 system which still has autoconf
 v2.65.

 ports installed: autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig freetype fontconfig
 libiconv ncurses zlib lzo2

 Error example with libass:
 {{{
