Well, I don't claim this is really a fix or even a workaround, but it
seems to actually skirt the issue, so whatever. Although I welcome any
input on the matter, I don't anticipate any. But enough blathering ...

Change the 5 instances of this ... :

return $ac_retval

... to this:

( return $ac_retval )

And it works. "./configure --version" says 2.64. So if anybody cares,
there ya go. (God that was difficult to find and solve!!) On the
bright side, at least configure scripts are a lot smaller
nowadays.   :-P
