Thanks! I hit this while trying to use GNU time on my mac to get LOG=profile to 
work, to profile compilation times of individual compilation units. I built 
latest (1.9) from source and it didn't detect it (same with 1.8). With this 
patch it works as expected.

Yes, it's escaping needed to use brackets in autoconf/m4. Sometimes we put the 
escape sequence around the complete expression, sometimes we just double up 
like I did here. You should be able to find several occurrences through out our 
autoconf scripts.
