+This patch fixes a build problem for m4-native experienced on Ubuntu 9.10,
+where autoconf/automake (AC_CONFIG_LINKS) ends up making GNUmakefile a
+symlink to itself.
+
+The patch comments out ac_config_links directly in configure,
+as autoreconf is not actually run for m4-native.
+
+I believe it should be safe, as GNUmakefile is actually unpacked from
+source, and what we want is to is to not touch it.
+
+Tested on x86_64_linux (Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10).
