The autoconf(1) AC_DEFINE() macro sets the value of its target macro to "1", by default, when executed -- but, apparently, it doesn't in the "confdefs.h" test-file that it creates for the test. Tisk, tisk. I've modified the file "configure.ac" appropriately. This problem shouldn't occur in the next release. Thanks for your persistence.
