Umm... no, the fix is not valid.  The change must be done in the
configure.in (or related) file... not in the configure script
itself.  The second you run "autoconf" to regenerate the configure
script, that change becomes moot.  This is what makes it so
challenging to deal with.

I might even suggest taking the "configure" file out of the
tree, since it is a generated file...
