Hello,
autoconf 2.63 has worked well for our project (icu), except for an issue
with a bare carriage return (hereafter '^M') in status.m4 which shows up in
resulting configure scripts. The line in question is:
ac_cr='^M'
If I am not misreading the git repository, the current development version
also has such a line.
I found and read this discussion:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2008-04/msg00007.html
but, most of the later discussion seemed to be about preferring \r in the
output form over ^M.
That might not be portable enough (one workaround would be to use "tr" to
construct the character from less troublesome text).
