CVS Autoconf looks for a shell which supports functions and $LINENO.
Apparently, your zsh satisfies those requirements, so Autoconf is happy with
it.

Indeed, Autoconf invokes the goop to tell Zsh to split like Bourne, but this
doesn't help Automake-generated makefiles. Can you apply the following
manual edit to the configure script (not the configure.ac file) and report if
it fixes the problem?
In configure, find the line:
as_candidate_shells="$SHELL"
Change it to:
as_candidate_shells=""
If that resolves the problem, I will submit an appropriate patch for Autoconf.
