Description Anders Hasselqvist 2003-10-05 08:48:53 UTC

There is a bug in AC_HELP_STRING in the Autoconf 2.57a.

This cause me the same problems as described in:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00052.html
when configuring the sim-icq source from CVS.

There is a patch for autoconf to solve this problem.

I solved this by replacing AC_HELP_STRING with AS_HELP_STRING instead of
patching autoconf.

Reproducible: Always
