Actually, just checked and the macro I posted is the only one causing
problems for the current autoconf in gcc.

Hmm - allow me to exclaim 'Duh!'. I guess I should've been
more precise:
"I removed all changequote's, replaced the replacement quotes
by [/] and doubled existing [/]'s where appropriate. This
