Severity: critical
Tags: patch

While trying to build a new version of nbdkit, I fonud that a freshly
generated configure script contains a syntax error:

,----
| $ curl -O http://libguestfs.org/download/nbdkit/nbdkit-1.1.4.tar.gz
| [...]
| $ tar xzf nbdkit-1.1.4.tar.gz 
| $ cd nbdkit-1.1.4/
| $ autoreconf
| $ ./configure
| [...]
| checking for style of include used by make... GNU
| checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
| checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
| ./configure: line 4820: syntax error near unexpected token `case'
| ./configure: line 4820: `fi case `pwd` in'
`----

To me, this looks like a missing newline at the end of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
in /usr/share/aclocal-1.14/init.m4. At least the attached patch fixes
the problem for me.

Cheers,
-Hilko

 dnl Hook into '_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' early to learn its expansion.  Do not
