It looks identical to the configure script that I get from running
autoconf, and my copy works just fine, even with the buggy dash 0.5.13.

Based on the fact we just found two bugs in 0.5.13 that both broke
autoconf, it's probably a dash bug :)

I just checked your original email and your configure script is
identical to mine.

Can you please run configure with set -x and send me the result?
