Ouch! On my Debian box, I had to build my own autoconf 2.67 from sources
to use with automake, since at least this chunk of the debian patch:

How nice of Debian to not tell upstream about the issue :(

Does anyone know which Debian bug this patch is supposed to address? And, is there any reason why:

[ "$LINENO" AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD[]])])

instead of inserting a spurious space wasn't chosen as a way to patch things?
