Description:It looks like with revision 290177, because of AC_COMPUTE_INT, the autoconf requirement was silently bumped to at least 2.60a. But AC_PREREQ doesn't reflect this.

Generating a configure script with 2.60 produces syntax errors such as:

./configure: line 20765: syntax error near unexpected token `ac_cv_sizeof_fd_set_fds_bits,'
./configure: line 20765: `AC_COMPUTE_INT(ac_cv_sizeof_fd_set_fds_bits, sizeof(foo.fds_bits[[0]]), $ac_includes_default'
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.1037 (%build)

(The macro simply isn't expanded, because it doesn't exist.)

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I've tested and successfully built with autoconf 2.60b, but mind that both 2.60a and 2.60b are old and officially unstable releases.

Per the Asterisk maintenance timeline page at http://www.asterisk.org/asterisk-versions maintenance (bug) support for the 1.4 and 1.6.x branches has ended. For continued maintenance support please move to the 1.8 branch which is a long term support (LTS) branch. For more information about branch support, please see https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions.  After testing with Asterisk 1.8, if you find this problem has not been resolved, please open a new issue against Asterisk 1.8.
