IIRC this is obsolete?

One to make it compile is to run  grep -Rn "divert(" and comment out all lines in the *.m4
and *.in files that show up. There should be only three files that actuall need changed. Ignore
/ext/fileinfo/tests/magic this doesn't affect the compile. You will get a lot of warnings from
autoconf but it will compile.

PS. I mean the patch to compile only with autoconf> 2.6.4, not for both post and pre.

Can I ask post here a patch that will allow PHP to compile with autoconf version> 2.6? I think it
will be useful to many users.

I spent quite a while on it. I couldn't come up with a viable way to support both 
pre and post autoconf-2.64 so it is either/or at this point. Every distro has pre-
2.64, not everyone has post 2.64. We will eventually be able to make a clean 
break, but it definitely won't be in 5.3.
