Figured out that it was an issue related to changes in autoconf. It seems to be 
a common issue in autoconf 1.12 (the version I have).  See the related 
discussion in the autoconf mailing list:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-05/msg00015.html

I am attaching a fix that will work in the autoconf 1.12 as well as earlier 
versions (tested it in my OSX machine).

I see this patch is included in the the one for bug #182 for which a CL is now 
up for internal review.
