Patch, fixing the bug.

boost.m4 is broken.
Perhaps it only needs to be updated to newer, as this is a known bug.
Attached patch for the current one. I don't know if it works with older versions of autoconf, but it does with 2.64

Sorry for missing this.

The M4 macro comes from http://repo.or.cz/w/boost.m4.git/blob/HEAD:/build-aux/boost.m4 and it seems to have the 'dnl' too: http://repo.or.cz/w/boost.m4.git/blob/HEAD:/build-aux/boost.m4#l62 Did you discuss it with tsuna@lrde.epita.fr? Not that I am against the patch, I am just being careful.

Ok. Please send this to the boost.m4 author as well.
Comment 4 Yaakov Selkowitz 2010-01-31 04:16:07 UTC 
This patch is necessary for autoconf-2.65 as well.

For some reason Bugzilla is erroring out when I try to mark your patch as "committed".
Comment 6 Debarshi Ray 2010-03-12 00:16:01 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
