bug#13872: 24.3-rc1; TERM_HEADER multiply defined during 'configure'


From: Paul Eggert
Subject: bug#13872: 24.3-rc1; TERM_HEADER multiply defined during 'configure'
Date: Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:26:30 -0800
User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130221 Thunderbird/17.0.3

Building Emacs 24.3-rc1 on Fedora 17 x86-64 generates a config.log with
lots of these diagnostics:

conftest.c:242:0: warning: "TERM_HEADER" redefined [enabled by default]
conftest.c:71:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition

The problem is that TERM_HEADER is put into conftest.c twice, with
disagreeing definitions:

  #define TERM_HEADER "xterm.h"
  ...
  #define TERM_HEADER "gtkutil.h"

On this platform it happens to work, but I worry that on other
platforms the C compiler will reject any such test program (as it is
entitled to do), which will cause later configuration decisions to
go wrong.

Here's a fix.  This looks pretty safe.
