I wouldn't spend a lot of time on it.. the 1.8 branch is not long-lived.  Make
your local patch to configure.in and just make sure not to send it upstream
with any other patches you send.  IMHO this is a tangental issue that's not
worth solving at this point; I'd rather time get spent getting the g2 branch
working than trying to fix the 1.8 branch configure input script.

Yes.  I get these warnings.

This is most definitely the error in "autoheader2.13".
