Yeah, this seems to be a bug in autoconf because this is not
portable /bin/sh code. IIRC, all cases must have an action item.
Are you using 2.52? I can't see any way around this besides
getting the autoconf people to fix this.
You *could* try upgrading to autoconf-2.52f:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.52f.tar.bz2
HTH. From my cursory examination of 2.52f, it seems like
it has the same problem. But, my /bin/sh is happy with the
empty case statements. So, I can't reproduce this. -- justin
