First off, please try to use reply below quoted text to preserve
normal conversation flow. I use Outlook too, so I know that doesn't
make it easy, but still...
In any case, it looks like automake is the culprit; the output you
posted clearly showed automake's INIT macro running.
init.m4 has
AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_MAKE_SET])dnl
AC_REQUIRE([AM_DEP_TRACK])dnl
AC_REQUIRE([AM_SET_DEPDIR])dnl
AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE([AC_PROG_][CC], <-- this is the problem I think
[AM_DEPENDENCIES(CC)],
[define([AC_PROG_][CC],
defn([AC_PROG_][CC])[AM_DEPENDENCIES(CC)])])dnl
It seems AC_PROG_CPP ends up running before AC_PROG_CC, which is bad.
I'm not an autotools guru, so I'm not too sure of where things are failing.
I get the same failure with
AC_INIT
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
AC_API_WIN32
But removing AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE makes it DTRT. So automake's macros
screw up the AC_REQUIRE's somehow.

This seems suspect too.
