What did you do different to try to install GCC?
You only need autoconf installed if you for some reason have modified the configure.in file (to re-create the configure script).
It could happen when configure.in has a newer timestamp than configure does, but that would only happen if you do something 'special' with the directory.
Or did you use a patch to upgarde an old GCC to version 2.95.3 ?
Either way, standard LFS installations don't touch the configure.in file, so autoconf wouldn't be needed.
