Details:

For inexplicable reasons, popt 1.18 does this:

AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS()

With autoconf 2.68 this isn't a problem with autoconf 2.69c breaks:

Use of uninitialized value $args[0] in split at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 452,
<GEN2> line 8.

I patch autoreconf slightly, but that is this line:

    452       push @subdir, split (' ', $args[0])
    453                                     if $macro eq "AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS"
&& $recursive;
