Hello Shevek, thanks for the report.

The general recommendation is to either avoid using -Werror, or to just drop AC_C_CONST: unless you know of a system with a compiler that doesn't support const, chances are you won't ever meet one. These are all just museum systems, and maybe a couple of long-running servers (which is why AC_C_CONST hasn't been eliminated yet IIRC). Cheers, Ralf
