See > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2005-09/msg00024.html Upstream == autoconf-2.60 == untested, unreleased, potentially buggy. However, what upstream does, doesn't matter in this case: You have hacked a autoconf-2.59 in a proprietary way, FC5-autoconf generated scripts will be non-reproducible on other platforms. As an isolated FC5 specific hack, this step is not helpful - If upstream introduces it to autoconf-2.60, this change would be helpful. Also, this patch is meaningless/non-functional when using vanilla autoconf-2.59 generated configure scripts on FC5, nor does it fix configure scripts having been generated by ancient autoconf version.
