Subject: Autoconf wrapper issues

Hi,

When trying to run some advanced autoconf features, I ran into this little
issue.  It appears that the -t/--trace= option is not being passed
correctly to the parrent script.

In my case:
autoconf --trace=AC_SUBST:'    AC_SUBST([$1])' | sort -u
or
autoconf -t AC_SUBST:'    AC_SUBST([$1])' | sort -u

Returns:
autoconf: invalid number of arguments.
Try `autoconf --help' for more information.

However, autoconf --help shows that -t/--trace= is a valid option, so I
know the wrapper is identifying the desired autoconf as 2.53.  The same
command works fine with the same source on my linux box, incidently.  I
thought I'd see if anyone has seen this before...

Cheers,
Nicholas
