According to Eric Blake on 2/16/2006 12:36 PM: >>>Without this patch, AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R (and anything else that uses >>>AC_CHECK_DECL) gets set incorrectly when configuring with gcc and >>>CFLAGS='-Wall -Werror'.

Either we need to update the various gnulib macros borrowed from CVS autoconf to override bugs in autoconf 2.59, or we need to release autoconf 2.60. What are the remaining issues in the way of releasing autoconf 2.60? - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
