Maybe some distribution applied that patch (that is in 2.63b) to their
2.63 version already.

Here's the changelog of configure:
Date:   Mon Mar 16 18:36:16 2009 +0000
-ac_cr='^M'
+ac_cr=`echo X | tr X '\015'`


And here's the release of 2.63b:
Date:   Mon Mar 30 08:45:11 2009 -0600

    Beta Release Version 2.63b.

Anyway, sorry for bothering you, obviously 2.63b has the portable version.

Best regards,
