Okay, I narrowed down the "excess arguments to m4_pushdef" to the following
tiny case:
AC_INIT([crystal], [1], [someone])
AC_ARG_ENABLE([cpu-specific-optimizations],
[AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-cpu-specific-optimizations=level],
[foo, bar])],
[], [])
AC_OUTPUT
It turns out that AC_HELP_STRING is the culprit. If I remove the comma from
[foo, bar], then the error disappears. I suspect that the quoting in the
new definition of AC_HELP_STRING in 2.57d is not working correctly when it
calls the newly introduced AS_HELP_STRING.
