Description Darin Adler 2001-04-12 20:35:25 UTC 
Someone reported on gtk-devel-list that AC_C_CONST was acting like the
const keyword was broken and defining const. That sounds like a terrible
bug in AC_C_CONST, because const is not broken in gcc!

Anyway, gcc provides underscore-surrounded versions of its keywords anyway
to prevent problems like this, so without figuring out what the original
poster's problem is, we can fix it with a patch like the one I'm attaching.
