I'm using an up-to-date Debian unstsable system,
gcc 4.4.3
make 3.81
The attached patch removes the double quoting so it compiles successfully.
The double-quoting is clearly wrong, but the weird thing is that I *don't* get that error!
Could you confirm which version of autoconf, automake & libtool you have. Also what configure arguments did you use?
