Details:
This piece of autoconf.ac:
AC_CHECK_FUNCS( \
strcpy \
strdup \
strchr \
strlen \
strcat \
strtok \
)
autoconf-2.69 converts to:
for ac_func in \
strcpy \
strdup \
strchr \
strlen \
strcat \
strtok \
do :
autoconf-2.71 into:
for ac_func in strcpy strdup strchr \ strlen \ strcat \ strtok \
do :
As a result bash reports a syntax error on the for-loop because it does not
recognizes "do" as a keyword.
