Which version of autoconf do you use?
To my knowledge, there are certain constructs in configure.in that only
work with autoconf 2.13, but Thomas has told me it works for him with
autoconf 2.59 - the latest indeed.
autoconf-2.13 does curently not work either. One needs to comment out
AC_GNU_SOURCE
in configure.in, and add
/* Define to `int' if <types.h> doesn't define. */
#undef ssize_t
to acconfig.h.
