This is expected that way. If you build from git you need a few
additional dependencies. The automatic dependency checks in configure.ac
are only used for tarball builds, they are irrelevant for the git
builds.

Or in other words: if you build from git you need to know what you are
doing, you need to install autoconf/automake/libtool and friends first,
and a number of other dependencies, and these will not be automatically
detected, and that's intended that way.

There's not to fix here.
