I commented out the AC_MSG_ERROR line and the configure completed
successfully.  I moved on to the next issue, which was a multiple
declaration of "timespec" due to the fact that configure checked in
time.h and sys/time.h, while our header set has it defined in timeb.h
and sys/timeb.h.  Until a better solution can be found, we just made
the headers for time.h and sys/time.h include the *b variants.  On to
the next error.. :)
