This is a known issue, perhaps to be resolved by asdf, but here is the process I used to resolve it on 2020-04-17:

• uninstall autoconf from home-brew and manually install
  MacOS Big Sur + Erlang 22.3 + AutoConf -> cannot find required auxiliary files: install-sh config.guess config.sub asdf-vm/asdf-erlang#195 (comment)

  brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies autoconf
  curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
  tar zxvf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
  cd autoconf-2.69
  ./configure && make && sudo make install

• Install Erlang without java (and deal with SSL)
  Unable to compile Erlang 22.0.7 on macOS 10.15 kerl/kerl#320

  export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=`/usr/local/bin/brew --prefix openssl`"

This leaves brew warning us about missing dependencies.

>  brew doctor

Warning: Some installed formulae are missing dependencies.
You should `brew install` the missing dependencies:
  brew install autoconf

Run `brew missing` for more details.
