That message about "present but cannot be compiled" is emitted by old 
versions of Autoconf; newer ones don't bother.  As this does not appear 
to be a bug in Emacs I'm taking the liberty of closing the report.

Not sure what this message is about, is it necessary to dig through to figure out why the autoconf test failed?
