Hi all,
  In "config/acx.m4", there are still some "tail +16c"  which are invalid
on POSIX systems.
  In my opinion， all "tail +16c" should be changed to "tail -c +16"
directly, as most systems has accept the latter.
  And, to skip first 16 bytes, we should use "tail -c +17" instead of
"tail -c +16".

 * config/acx.m4:Change "tail +16c" to "tail -c +17".
 * configure: Regenerate.
Thanks.  I've installed this on the trunk after bootstrap & regression 
testing on x86_64-linux-gnu.
