For those who might stumble upon this thread:  The OP missed the point
that moving files around in /usr/include is bad.  I failed to emphasize
that point as well.  The proper fix is to edit the autofiles so that the
test is not run at all since it is not needed.  Short of that, if due to
inexperience with autofoo, it's still better to edit the config.h file
rather than the 6 steps necessary to become root, move a file that
should not be moved, return to normal privs, configure the package, gain
root privs agian, move the file back, and return to normal privs.

"sed -i '/#define HAVE_VIS_H 1/d' config.h" should work well.
