I'm hitting this one as well, amd64 system, exact same autoconf-xxxx.out file
contents.

Please attach the configure file from the build directory so I can see where it
went off the rails.

Line 196 is:
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for System V sys/procfs)

It's not inside a function.  Is that allowed?

try replacing that line with:

AC_MSG_CHECKING([for System V sys/procfs])

and see if it works better.

WORKAROUND: Since this probably won't be fixed until autoconf-2.62 goes stable,
those having problems (like I did) with this package may just mask
autoconf-2.62, then allegro compiles just fine with the previous version.
(for reference, I'm on amd64 too)

Fixed in allegro-4.2.2-r1, thanks.
