Comment (by grarpamp):

 FreeBSD ports and packages for majors 8 through 11 all use autoconf 2.69
 and automake 1.15.
 8 and earlier are EOL, packages for 8 are no longer updated but are still
 served up.
 9 is done and will be EOL in one year.
 The older 8 box from tor-dev today used 2.69 and 1.14, no expectations
 there.

 Latest DragonflyBSD, ArchLinux (and Fedora and OpenSuse) all use 2.69 and
 1.15.

 Latest GNU is 2.69 and 1.15.
