Try the top-of-tree Git version instead; the 1.0.0 version was doing  
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(), with no header file names, for some reason, and  
that generated a loop that does

        for i in
        do
                ..
        done

Some Bourne-compatible shells handle an empty list in a for statement,  
but that's a non-standard feature, and some Bourne-compatible shells -  
including, apparently, the one in AIX 6.1 - don't support that.
