OK, I was wondering if I can choose SUN Workshop C compiler (it is
tremendously fast and higly optimized). Anywaay this is not important at
this stage.

I have written this code, it will work ?
(note: I have autocon 2.12 you require 2.13 which is in the next
distribution of Deabian, I have to upgrade my distribution).

dnl --enable-efence : Compile with the Electric Fence debug library
AC_ARG_ENABLE(efence,
    [  --enable-efence          Add efence library for memory allocation
debug])

...

if test $efence = yes; then
        AC_CHECK_LIB(efence,main,LIBS="$LIBS
-lefence",AC_MSG_ERROR(ElectricFence not found)) 
fi

It ia library that tracks memory allocation. It MUST be the first library
linked in.
