the Autoconf manual says:

     Zsh 3.0.8 is the native `sh' on Mac OS X 10.0.3.

advicing:

     [...] By default `zsh' is _not_ compatible with
     the Bourne shell: you must execute `emulate sh', and for `zsh'
     versions before 3.1.6-dev-18 you must also set `NULLCMD' to `:'.
     *Note Compatibility: (zsh)Compatibility, for details.

Have a nice day,
        Stepan
