That is not the message in this report.

The preprocessor alone could not find and process this C++ header, but the C++
compiler running the preprocessor did so.  Autoconf 2.57 trusts the preprocessor
and emits this warning.  Autoconf 2.59 trusts the compiler and emits a similar
warning with no request for a report.

It may be safe to ignore this message.  If you have trouble compiling cppunit, I
highly recommend bootstrapping cppunit with Autoconf 2.59, which will better
configure cppunit for this system.
