 dnl    mv $tmp/out $ac_file
 dnl  fi
   if test x"$ac_file" != x-; then
-    mv $tmp/out $ac_file
+    rm -f $ac_file
+dnl Keep 'executable' attribute.
+    for f in $ac_file_inputs; do
+      cp $f $ac_file
+      chmod u+w $ac_file
+    done
+    cat $tmp/out >$ac_file

What is the loop supposed to do?  It seems to be copying all of the
files listed in $ac_file_inputs to just one file name.  Surely that is
not what you want?
