[asterisk-dev] autoconf wonky?

[Chris Heiser]

I upgraded my ubuntu box to 2.60a (for some reason, they feel the need to 
patch it).  I'm still getting the same odd results, and the same bad 
configure script is being generated as it was in 2.61.  Errors/Warnings 
generated when attempting to run the new configure script:

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E
./configure: line 6238: AST_PROG_LD: command not found
checking for gawk... gawk
