That was to be expected. If you could send a snippet of sh -x

This has *never* been part of Autoconf, and the lack of sense of

Huh? I'll reread your message about that. But of course if the user

Let me put it this way: All well-known (may they be explictly
documented or not :) shell-variables should be preserved.
This comprises includedir, libdir, target, host, build, prefix,
exec_prefix and many more.

I agree with Ralf. No visible variables should be modified.

It should probably be in LDFLAGS, not LIBS.
Indeed, the fault seems to be in acgeneral.m4, when defining AC_CHECK_LIB:
LIBS="-l$1 $5 $LIBS"
IMHO, it should be:
LIBS="$LIBS -l$1 $5"

It's fine with me. I'd check a patch implementing it into automake.
I don't know the answer to your problems though.

Why can't I use AS_* macros from configure.in?

Oh. I can't call them from Automake macros... anyone know why that doesn't
work? It generates the following error:

Akim,
I installed that version of autoconf and put your script in a file
called "foo":
stenn@porkypine sh foo
