Interesting.  I suspect modern autoconf/m4 doesn't insert as much
whitespace, for me the line reads:

fi{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for struct utmp.ut_pid" >&5

With the patch below, the lines are changed to:

fi
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for struct utmp.ut_pid" >&5

Ok to commit?

I'm using m4 1.4.13, autoconf 2.63b, and automake 1.10b.
