Thanks for reporting that. Does the following patch to Autoconf 2.60
fix the bug for you? I've installed it into Autoconf CVS (for 2.61)
but I'd like you to verify that it actually works on NetBSD.

* lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (AC_PATH_XTRA): Do the check for space after
-R regardless of host. Patrick Welche reports that a space after -R
is also required for NetBSD 3.99.
