  Alas, it didn't help; the same problem recurred.  The only difference in the
newly-generated-but-still-faulty aclocal.m4 as compared to my previous attempt
was:

/usr/build/src-winsup/newlib $ diff -pu aclocal.m4.save  aclocal.m4

Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.



  Charles W. made some suggestions offlist which I'll try later, but I need to
