Okay will do in a bit after I rebuild both.

FWIW: I'm not convinced its autoconf 2.69 at fault. I'm running autoconf
2.69
And as an experiment

In the 9.3.4 configure.in source code -- I changed the autoconf requirement
in configure.in to 2.69 and rebuilt the configure script (making sure I
deleted the old one before trying to rebuild)

It still configures fine with 9.3.4 (just tested with mingw32 gcc 4.9.0 and
same issue with that)

rebuilding the configure script for 9.4.0 still fails.

Sorry if this doesn't follow the thread -- for some reason I didn't get any
of these emails you sent.

Thanks again for the help,
Regina
