This is not a bug, an empty src/auto/config.h is included, because
otherwise "make depend" doesn't work.
The problem is that when running configure the file is overwritten by a
non-empty one. When you update from CVS later it fails. But that is
OK, just ignore the error.
It would be nicer if we have some way to avoid the error message, but I
don't know how.
