 That patch has nothing to do with this problem.

 The line that does that, from my patch, is executed in an unusual
 context; it's dead wrong anywhere else.
 
 What I want to know is how we got newlines in $subdirs in the first
 place.  That should be impossible.  Edwin, would you mind applying
 this patch to configure.in, regenerating configure, running it, and
 reporting the output (just the lines beginning with a plus sign should
 be enough)?
