Hmmm. It works here.

Nope. I can't reproduce it =(O|

It is bad that FILE is the empty string. Do you have a `file'
executable in your PATH?
..time passes...
Ah! I think I have it. Autoconf-2.13 has a bug in AC_SUBST which
prevents AC_SUBST(FILE) from ever working. I am committing a patch
which works around this problem. I am not able to break this, even if
I force an empty string in just before the AC_SUBST in configure.in.
Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
Cheers,
Gary.
