... it doesn't look to safe to change code snippets in the manual that
describe quoting bugs in old shells, which is true for at least some of
the above.  I don't know if you've fixed all instances in followup
patches already, but at least I haven't seen a log entry that states
this.

Agreed; I think I reverted all of these changes eventually (since without having the old system to verify with, I can't be sure that the "" version would even trigger the bug under discussion).

  # Provide a safe default value.
-: ${ac_cv_func_select_args='int,int *,struct timeval *'}
+: "${ac_cv_func_select_args='int,int *,struct timeval *'}"

This one looks buggy too (and is not reverted yet).

Indeed - I'll fix it now.
