Package: autoconf
Version: 2.59.cvs.2006.05.13-1
Severity: normal
I'm using autoconf for my own project. Generated ./configure fails with error:
checking for C99-compatible vsnprintf()... configure: error: cannot run test
program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.
But in config.log I have:
configure:2820: checking whether we are cross compiling
configure:2822: result: no
Previous autoconf version 2.59a-9 worked fine.

The quoting is wrong in your call to AC_TRY_RUN. In particular,
there is a stray, unmatched ] just before the closing ). Without
running your configure script, I suspect that this is the
problem, so I am closing the bug. If that's not the case, please
reopen it.
(A large number of bugs filed against the Autoconf package are in
fact bad quoting, so there is precedent for this.)
