I'm building gcalctool via JHBuild. gcalctool builds
successfully. If upstream then updates configure.ac, then I run 'make', which
attempts a reconfigure, but fails.

This is because JHBuild sets ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include the sandbox (e.g. -I
/opt/gnome/share/aclocal). One may argue it is silly for JHBuild to require
every module to support ACLOCAL_FLAGS, but there isn't a way around it until
automake-1.12 is out - which includes support for ACLOCAL_PATH. Further details
in the JHBuild bug 634617.

The build failure is:
make  V=1
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /home/Oxyde/gnome/gcalctool/missing --run aclocal-1.11 
 cd . && /bin/sh /home/Oxyde/gnome/gcalctool/missing --run automake-1.11 --gnu
