bad file descriptor / bad substitution

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

Please find attached here a tarball:

bad.tar.lz
Description: Binary data

that contains a minimal configure.ac, the configure script
resulting from running ‘autoreconf -vfi’, and a log of both the
autoreconf run and the subsequent ./configure invocation.
(Altogether four files.)

The file configure.out shows the error:

./configure: line 1486: 5: Bad file descriptor
checking whether  is declared... ./configure: line 1488: ${+y}: bad substitution

Question: Is this a simple case of user error (‘AC_CHECK_DECLS’
should be m4-quoted), or is this a legitimate Autoconf bug?

If there is anything else i can provide to resolve this issue,
please let me know.
