configure gives syntax error near unexpected token 'SSHFS,'

[6502c]

I try to build sshfs on a MacBook Pro M1 with macOS 12.6.1 (Monterey). After cloning and following the documented steps I end up with this error:

cd sshfs

autoreconf -i

Install pkg-config to fix. If you use brew, it's just brew install pkg-config

Thanks, @cheeseandcereal, that did it.

Some guides also metioned to reinstall the pkg-config. Don't forget run again autoreconf -i after install pkg-config.
