Regarding use of Zsh, is it not possible to add options to the SHELL
definition so that even if Zsh is the selected shell, it will properly
split arguments.
For example, in my Zsh manual page, I see that the -y option enables
SH_WORD_SPLIT so presumably
SHELL = /bin/zsh -y
should emulate the

Autoconf could, for example, publish a macro such as the following:
AS_SELECT_SHELL([features], [action-if-found], [action-if-not-found])
I like this basic idea approach (though of course it would take some
hacking).

I'd say it would be useful that @SHELL@ be the most POSIX compliant
shell that does not require any configuration code (such as
_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE) to work. CONFIG_SHELL would allow shell that

Yes, I like this idea

CVS Autoconf looks for a shell which supports functions and $LINENO.
Apparently, your zsh satisfies those requirements, so Autoconf is happy with

Even if zsh is used, there are well-documented ways to tell Zsh to

In configure, find the line:
Failure to configure and build Automake is a first for me. This is

Apparently the key to building Automake 1.8.3 under FreeBSD is to use
BSD make rather than GNU make.
However, Automake 1.8.2 configures and builds just fine using GNU
make.
