Building from repo generates an error message and fails.

[George R Goffe]

Niels,

I just ran the build without the local toolchain... No change in behavior.

Regards,

George...

That's not the configure script...

I haven't seen this. In my copy of configure.ac (I'm at revision
b54d1f94b4ee, but it looks like latest change to this file was many
months ago), I see no AC_REQUIRE near line 2743 in configure.ac. So I
have no idea why it's failing like that. Which version of autoconf are
you using?
