yes - this is one of the places where autoconf 2.5x breaks lots of configure
scripts (it breaks the ability to check the existence of a given function
in one of several possible libraries). If I happen to see a 2.5x that's
stable long enough to bother, I'll add this fix to my autoconf patches - for
the time being, it's just a waste of diskspace.
(I saw on the autoconf list last week where the self-check for the
tool had removed all of the symbolic links from someone's "/" directory).
