POSIXLY_CORRECT breaks a lot of things, unfortunately.  I installed
the following patches to work around your particular problem, and one
other that I ran into, but no doubt others remain.

        Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
        None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,

        * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
        "permute", too.
        * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
        --warning -> --warnings.
        * lib/autom4te.in: --warning -> --warnings.
