It turns out that this was actually a bug in Autoconf, not in pkg-config. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2010-09/msg00040.html and http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=f6030a3204a9b87e9b346e6eff4ce1117382fc86 for the upstream details. Sadly, I caught this too late for 6.7, oh well! Here's the sed that'll achieve the same as the upstream fix (minus their test suite addition, of course): sed -i -e 's/])m4_defun/[]&/' lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 Ken, what package was it you were updating that tickled this bug? I'll try to reproduce and confirm the fix before commiting this one to the book.
