I can go test it again, but 1.8 has worked fine for me on RH9 without
any kind of change like this.  So I really suspect this is a problem
with Debian's autotools package.  Regardless, this patch is not going
into the 1.8 configure.in because our 1.8 target doesn't support it.

For 1.10/2.0 we've upgraded to 2.5x.

Few people use HEAD for much.  I know I dont.
