Some older (though not too old) autoconfs do not have this macro. I had
autoconf 2.56 and it doesn't have it. The problem is that even though
AC_PREREQ() in configure.ac says the least required version is 2.54, one
will never be able to build configure using that version of autoconf. I
installed 2.59 which is the latest and it works now. The version in
AC_PREREQ() should be bumped up to the first version that contains
AS_HELP_STRING() macro but I am not sure whether any earlier versions than
the 2.59 actually have it.
The patch that introduced the regression is: Wim Lewis
