I am curious as to why we have different results. I agree with the
patch, it needs to be done
even if it did not fail.

The difference I see is that I have autoconf 2.62 automake 1.10.
I use distclean in the srcdir, then mkdir build and ../configure in
their.

I am trying to find out if you have a more challenging build scenario
than I have.
I would use it consistently as it seems to be finding more errors.
I suspect 2.68 to be the difference. I recall other behavour changes
with this version.

Thanks for the info.
