Just leave out the '\'.

If I just leave out the '\', as you say, I still get the same error. 
If I look at the produced code in the configure script, I see

for ac_header in file.h file1.h ... file6.h
     file7.h file8.h ... file12.h
     file13.h
do

Which is a shell error. If the \ were propogated to configure, this 
would be okay or if quotes were put around I think it would be 
alright (but not sure).
