Now that Tiger has been announced, I can ask about a problem it has with autoconf. Here's what I get when running my build script of:

env ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=8 GFORTH="./gforth -i ./kernl32b.fi - m4M" ./BUILD-FROM-SCRATCH

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no
checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no
checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... (cached) none needed
checking make type...
checking whether the linker accepts -export-dynamic... no
checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.0.0
checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.0.0
./configure: line 3843: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./configure: line 3843: ` *" ../arch/power/_sync_cache_range. $ac_objext "*'


The section in configure that it's complaining about ends up looking like this:

ac_cv_func__sync_cache_range=no
fi
rm -f conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext \
      conftest$ac_exeext conftest.$ac_ext
fi
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $ac_cv_func__sync_cache_range" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}$ac_cv_func__sync_cache_range" >&6
if test $ac_cv_func__sync_cache_range = yes; then
  true
else
  case $LIBOBJS in
    "../arch/power/_sync_cache_range.$ac_objext"   | \
  *" ../arch/power/_sync_cache_range.$ac_objext"   | \
    "../arch/power/_sync_cache_range.$ac_objext "* | \
  *" ../arch/power/_sync_cache_range.$ac_objext "*
fi
;;
  *) LIBOBJS="$LIBOBJS ../arch/power/_sync_cache_range.$ac_objext" ;;
esac
)

If I don't do the aclocal and autoconf steps, everything works fine.

Any clue as to what's wrong?
