No, that version is not needed.  I'm running my BBS on Slackware 
-current, and also have autoconf-2.72.  Had no problems compiling.  I'd 
suggest not using that extra crap on the command line.  Are you pulling 
the latest code from Git before running that command, or is this a 
tarball, or what...  Why would you want to use that fairly old version 
of SBBS (v3.20d)?

I'd suggest wiping the /sbbs directory and starting over fresh.  Just 
use:  make -f install-sbbs.mk SYMLINK=1 for your command line.  
Personally I don't even use the SYMLINK, but that's your choice.
