      5 # SYNOPSIS
      6 #
      7 #   AX_CONFIGURE_ARGS
      8 #
      9 # DESCRIPTION
     10 #
     11 #   Helper macro for AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR.
     12 #
     13 #   The traditional way of starting a subdir-configure is running the script
     14 #   with ${1+"$@"} but since autoconf 2.60 this is broken. Instead we have
     15 #   to rely on eval'ing $ac_configure_args however some old autoconf
     16 #   versions do not provide that. To ensure maximum portability of autoconf
     17 #   extension macros this helper can be AC_REQUIRE'd so that
     18 #   $ac_configure_args will alsways be present.
     19 #
     20 #   Sadly, the traditional "exec $SHELL" of the enable_builddir macros is
     21 #   spoiled now and must be replaced by "eval + exit $?".
     22 #
     23 #   Example:
     24 #
     25 #     AC_DEFUN([AX_ENABLE_SUBDIR],[dnl
     26 #       AC_REQUIRE([AX_CONFIGURE_ARGS])dnl
     27 #       eval $SHELL $ac_configure_args || exit $?
     28 #       ...])
