[SOLVED] vala-git build fails -- autoconf problems?

My system is up to date as of today and I have the regular extra/vala 0.16.0-1 installed. When building aur/vala-git with yaourt I get this:

==> Starting build...
Cloning into '/tmp/yaourt-tmp-herman/aur-vala-git/src/vala-build'...
done.
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
configure.ac:25: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:26: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build vala-git.
==> Restart building vala-git ? [y/N]
==> ---------------------------------
==> 
==> WARNING: Following packages have not been installed:
    vala-git

The reason I want to install it is that cario-compmgr is also failing to build. Do I need to tweak some PKGBUILD settings or the .install here? These files seems fine. Appreciate your time.
Solution: install the WHOLE base-devel package
