It's the same here. There was a long discussion in Debian on how to
handle the autoconf2.13/2.50 transition, apparently the maintainer wrote
a wrapper script which should do the right thing[tm]. Dunno, perhaps it

This happens when you're running plain autoconf subsequently?

Did you try running autoconf2.50 in the ghemical dir and see if
top_builddir gets set correctly?
