In the old version of autoconf (maybe before v2.64), AC_REPLACE_FUNCS will
invoke AC_CHECK_FUNCS directly. So it expanded to:

Thanks for the report. This is a regression introduced in 2.66, at commit b4d3a51a, when optimizing to reduce forks in the common case of literal function names. I'm working on a patch to restore the for loop in the case of shell indirection.
