Ping? What about installing the patch in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2008-04/msg00050.html ?
The part about HP-UX (-Ae option) could be dropped if 1) AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is modified to add -Ae. and 2) AC_PROG_CC_STDC is modified to reject K&R C compilers. Status of 1): Everyone appears to agree, but no one has done the work yet. Status of 2): Not everyone agrees that this should be done, or at least an escape for old K&R C packages should be offered. So what is hindering this patch from being applied? Bruno
