Please provide any additional information below.
To suppress the error, the configure file needs being regenerated via
./runautoconf

I suggest updating your autotools and re-running ./runautoconf to update
the configure file (so that users won't need to install autotools to build
tesseract-ocr). The attached patch also has all changes generated on my
Debian box with recent enough autotools and can be used for the updating.
