While I was trying to port m4-1.4.6 I have noticed that latest configure scripts
generated by autoconf 2.60 seems to produce certain header files that contain
includes like this:

#include <c:/djgpp/include/sys/stat.h>

The above is only an example. It should be noticed the absolute path of the file.
I have modified the script in such a way that it produce installation independent
path like this:

#include </dev/env/DJDIR/djgpp/include/sys/stat.h>

Both versions of the path make the compilation fail. I have installed gcc 4.1.1.
May be it become possible to modify cpp in such a way that it will be able
to parse such include lines.
Meanwhile I will modify the script in such a way that it no longer produces
such absolute paths in the include-lines.
