Current HEAD seems to work okay for me (post Paolo Bonzini's autoconf-2.50 
patch), but I don't entirely follow your description.  It is almost 2am, and 
I have been hacking since I got home from work 7 hours ago, so I may be in 
the early stages of brain freeze.... ;-)

Could you `cvs -z3 up' and try again?

Cheers,
        Gary.
