make configure.in somewhat incompatible with current autoconf - or?

Hello all,

I'm using current cvs version of autoconf 2.61b and when doing a "autoreconf
-vfi" I get:
...
configure.in:60: warning: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE was called before
AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
...
See attached shell output text.

I have reported this to autoconf as well, but they seem to think that
nothing is wrong (basically a gnulib problem). It show up in several GNU
projects and I think it's due to a recent patch of AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.

I'm unsure what to change in configure.in to fix this.

Any comment on this would be most welcome

Thanks
Jerker
