Bug in autoconf 2.57 (was: file locking on HPUX11.00 and amanda 2.4.4p1)

Hi,

for the Archive:
I found out that the problem was with autoconf 2.57 
(see http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-06/msg00009.html)

It goes wrong already when it looks for the function gettimeofday.

I regenerated "configure" with autoconf 2.56, configure and make run without 
problem.
amanda 2.4.4p1 is up and running now

Wish I could tell you.  I had same thing happen on Solaris
several years ago.  And it had all the locking techniques 
configure was supposed to be testing for.

I went into the config/config.h file and found the #define
for the style locking I wanted it to use and changed it from
no to yes (or whatever boolean it was using).

For me, in later builds it did not happen.
