Package: autoconf2.13
Version: 2.13-47
Severity: normal
Hi
It looks like autoconf2.13 has in few places constuctions like this:
ifelse(AC_LANG, CPLUSPLUS, [#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" void exit(int);
#endif
This basicaly breaks any compilation of C++ program actually because
compiler will stop with compilation error on different declaration.
I think it would be much better to use either more advanced
declaration or directly use '#include stdlib.h'
eventualy remove it completely as it's not useful anyway...
