The main problem is in the trap defined in ./lib/autoconf/general.m4 in _AC_INIT_PREPARE: rm -f -r conftest* confdefs* conf$[$]* $ac_clean_files What should be done with this? Should I rename this and all occurences in the autoconf tree? I suggest conf$$.* instead of conf$$t*; I guess it is more likely to catch current usages.
