I've had this problem on OS/2 before. It's not a real error; it has
to do somehow with using some stale configure.* files. Run 'sh -c
autoconf --clean' and 'sh -c autoconf' to clean everything up and
build a fresh configure.cmd. I don't know why this should happen, but
it seems to be a not uncommon error with autoconf-based stuff on OS/2.
