I didn't mean it that way. :-) I just meant that I wasn't aware on
anything that would have broken it all of a sudden.

lots of linux distributions switched autoconf to prefer gawk first.

Yep, all your DECL checks are failing (probably for the same reason.)
I don't have any idea why you're special in this regard though.
Can you try figuring out which CVS patch triggers it?
