2.64, glib and syntax error: unexpected end of file

[Frederic Peters]

Hello,

Building glib fails with autoconf 2.64; ./configure gives out this
error:

  checking for GNUC visibility attribute... ./configure: line 31209:
  syntax error: unexpected end of file

This check uses macro, which itself uses _AC_EVAL_STDERR, which has
this comment:
  # Like _AC_RUN_LOG_STDERR, but eval (instead of running) COMMAND.
  # Unlike _AC_DO_STDERR, this macro mishandles quoted arguments in
  # some cases.

But I couldn't got further than this, as I didn't see any obvious (for
me) misquoted strings.


Anyway I reduced this as best as I could in the attached tarball;
 autoreconf; ./configure gives expected result with 2.63
and aborts with the same 'unexpected end of file' with 2.64.


Thanks for your time,

        Frederic
