If you are using the Debian packaged sources, why not build the package
properly?

apt-get build-dep flac
apt-get source -b flac

Or if you already have the source package:

dpkg-source -x flac_1.0.4-2.dsc
cd flac-1.0.4
dpkg-buildpackage -b

This will ensure that everything is built properly.

You do not need to run autogen when building flac unless you have modified
configure.in, Makefile.am, etc.

The problem here is that you are using autoconf 2.13, when flac requires
autoconf 2.5.  As I said above, you don't need to deal with any of this, and
even if you did, you could avoid it by using the package.  This is what it
is for.
