No, that version is not needed. I'm running my BBS on Slackware
-current, and also have autoconf-2.72. Had no problems compiling. I'd
suggest not using that extra crap on the command line. Are you pulling
the latest code from Git before running that command, or is this a
tarball, or what... Why would you want to use that fairly old version
of SBBS (v3.20d)?
I'd suggest wiping the /sbbs directory and starting over fresh. Just
use: make -f install-sbbs.mk SYMLINK=1 for your command line.
Personally I don't even use the SYMLINK, but that's your choice.
