From the /usr/tmp/gdb-5.0/configure I am assuming you were running it from
a linux prompt. If that is the case, the cause will most likely be stray
CR's in the configure script (linux' bash can't handle them, as I found
out when testing my patched autoconf 2.49a[1] on Linux). If this is the
case, Eli can rest easy and concentrate on Emacs :-)

[1] BTW, this will likely be released next weekend (and the patches submitted
to the autoconf team), pending tests on a system other than my own.
Automake 1.4a still fails 6 or so tests in the testsuite (some of which my just
be a symptom of it being an alpha release); but I'll try to address those and
release it together with autoconf.
