the lcd4linux package uses a common construct like so:
AC_INIT
if :; then
AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
AC_MSG_ERROR([blah blah blah
blah blah
])dnl
fi
AC_OUTPUT
with the latest autoconf, this creates a shell script with a syntax error:
$ autoconf && bash -n configure
configure: line 2363: syntax error: unexpected end of file
if the dnl is dropped, or a newline is added before the fi, then the generated
script works fine. the generate code with the newline consumed looks like:
blah blah
" "$LINENO" 5fi
