I don't think it's (b) directly. The error comes from the macro
AC_PROG_CC
which seems harmless to me. Either a bug i Autoconf or if one is 
supposed to invoke ./configure is dome different way. I cannot tell and 
it's probably a better to check with autoconf folks.

I think I'll have some time later tonight to whip up a small 
configure.ac/configure that I hope Jeff can confirm causes the same problem.
