about autoconf >= 2.64

Hello,

While upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10, autoconf was updated 
from 2.63 to 2.64, and I noticed that some of the configure script are 
not well generated anymore in RTEMS source tree.

For example, the generated cpukit/configure contains the following piece 
of code (bad shell code):
##############################
if test x"${enable_rtems_debug}" = x"yes"

cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
#define RTEMS_DEBUG 1
_ACEOF
; then :

fi
##############################

Falling back to "old" autoconf 2.63, everything works perfectly on 
Ubuntu 9.10
I also tried autoconf 2.65, the bug is still there.

I was wondering if such a bug was Ubuntu-specific, and if someone was 
using autoconf >=2.64 with success and on which distribution ?

Thank you.

Pierre Kestener.
