Hi Martin,
(http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=856&group_id=106)
The only feasible way to fix this is to update everything to use a
current version of Autoconf, which does not have these problems, as far
as I can see. (ac_config_sub isn't even used any more. I think these
problems were fixed years ago in Autoconf.)
peb put in a lot of effort toward this end a couple years ago, but
unfortunately we were unable to push things to the point of committing
the changes.
Barring someone else stepping in and making it happen, I can't promise
any particular timetable. It's obviously a big job. 2008 looks dubious :(.
Sorry,
karl
