Should be fixed in

thanks for reporting.

Thanks also for providing a patch; it might have taken me hours to figure out
what to change otherwise.  I made a somewhat different change, though, because
your code could produce a config.h with _inconsistent_ line endings, and also
because old non-GNU implementations of awk probably don't support using a
regexp as the third argument to 'split'.  (I'm not 100% sure about this; the
gawk manual is usually very good about pointing out portability issues but in
this case it's ambiguous.  For code this fundamental I think it's best to play
safe.)

I don't have access to a development environment on a machine that uses CRLF
line endings.  I would appreciate it if you could test autoconf trunk in the
environment where you originally encountered the problem.
