I'm not sure if that isn't the right solution. It seems this is an old
autoconf issue, but I can't see that there is a standard solution. Eg

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2005-05/msg00004.html

The following patch might make things behave like they used to, could
you try it out? You will need to run autoconf.
