Ok, that makes sense. So I'll happily change the AC_PREREQ back to 2.63 for RHEL 6/CentOS 6 packages. Thanks for applying the patch.

This is issue when building with autoconf 2.63 available in RHEL6/CentOS6

BTW I am wondering why Ruby actually enforces autoconf 2.67 and makes plenty of RHEL 6/CentOS 6 users [1] unnecessary issues, when it builds with 2.63 just fine. If there was some justification at least [2].
