maybe configure.ac problem ?

[Basile STARYNKEVITCH]

Hello all,

While trying to compile the trunk gcc (svn rev 125703) on my 
Debian/Sid/AMD64, I got the following problem, which happens even when 
configuring in an empty build directory _Obj/
cd /usr/src/Lang/gcc-trunk/_Obj
/usr/src/Lang/gcc-trunk/configure '--disable-multilib' 
'--program-suffix=-snap' '--enable-maintainer-mode' 
'--enable-languages=c,c++'

checking size of long long... 8
checking for __int64... no
checking whether gcc supports -W... yes
checking whether gcc supports -Wall... yes
checking whether gcc supports -Wwrite-strings... yes
checking whether gcc supports -Wstrict-prototypes... yes
checking whether gcc supports -Wmissing-prototypes... yes

checking whether gcc supports -Wold-style-definition... yes
checking whether gcc supports -Wmissing-format-attribute... yes
checking whether gcc supports -pedantic -Wno-long-long 
-Wno-variadic-macros         -Wno-overlength-strings... no
configure: error: unknown check category release,yes

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/Lang/gcc-trunk/_Obj'
make: *** [all] Error 2


This could be related to the IFS setting in gcc/configure.ac near line 360

my bash version is GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

my autoconf version is autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61

Am I the only one to experiment this?

Regards.
