I agree "the patch didn't change that line".
I don't think the problem was caused by your patch or any corruption  
of it as I actually implemented the patch "by hand".
It seemed to me that m4_esyscmd wasn't working properly as it inserted  
a CR at the wrong place in the "# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61 for  
guile 1.8.3." line of the configure file (after the 3 as I remember so  
that the period following the 3 appeared on a line by itself causing ./ 
configure to abort at that line).
I tried to get some info on  m4_esyscmd from the on-line autoconf  
manual but, although it appears in the manual's index, B.5 M4 Macro  
Index, which provides alink to the Redefined M4 Macros section, it is  
not mentioned in that section or anywhere else in the document as far  
as I can see.

Any other ideas?

Roger
