I wish that somebody found it before. This is extremely important for
Autoconf developers and needs to be worked around as soon as possible.

I think that the quotes around $config_files wouldn't hurt. Also you need
to check that CONFIG_FILES has not already been set.
Eureka, quotes! Could you please test this construct:
if $ac_need_defaults; then
: ${CONFIG_FILES="$config_files"}
fi

This must be something QNX specific.

Weird.

Wild, wonderful world of QNX! Obviously, configure thinks that it's a
build with $srcdir != .
There is such line in configure:
if test "`cd $srcdir && pwd`" != "`pwd`" && test -f $srcdir/config.status; then
Please play with it and find what $srcdir is, why "pwd" outputs different
directories (or is is "cd" that produces some noice?)

It doesn't matter. Everything should be fixed before Automake-2.50 can be
released.
