is it causing _any_ problem at all ???

No one I am aware of. But since is signalled as a QA issue, I preferred
reporting it.

this is strange, looks like autoconf doesn't recognize foreign anymore.

@base-system, any idea ?

"foreign" isnt an autoconf command, it's a parameter to automake

if you look at the files, it should be apparent the real issue:
configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE ([foreign dist-bzip2 dist-gzip])
configure: (foreign dist-bzip2 dist-gzip)

hmm, looks to me like there shouldnt be a space there ... the m4 language does
not allow for it ...

ugh, I had shit in the eyes. Fixed without a bump.
