Thanks for reporting that failure symptom.  It doesn't cause any real
problems, so I wouldn't worry about it.  I installed the following
patch to Autoconf so that users of future releases shouldn't be
bothered by the test failure.

2005-04-19  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_RUN_IFELSE):
        Remove core.conftest.* too; it's generated by Tru64 5.1.
        Problem reported by Jennis Pruett.
        * lib/autoconf/functions.m4
        (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL):
        Don't bother to remove core files; AC_RUN_IFELSE should do that
        for you.
