Perhaps you should stick to using the pre-generated configure and not try to hack things since you obviously have no clue.

Did somebody piss in your cornflakes or are you always this charming? What hack, it's your buildconf script and the only version of PHP that gets it wrong is PHP6. Never mind, I've resolved the issue and concluded that carelessness on your part doesn't constitute a problem on my part.

If you want to build configure (which usually is very bad thing!) yourself, install autoconf-2.13. Any other version is not supported.

A bad thing, have you stopped taking your medication? The configure script wont rebuild itself without a little prodding and I don't see you offering any free service to do it. Why would I want to downgrade, don't tell me it's because you claim all other versions are buggy, I find that hard to accept since the only problem I've ever experienced to date has been with PHP6 and swapping two lines corrected this.
