If this is talking about the patch proposed in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2010-08/msg00023.html>
then I'm afraid that I'll have to demur.  That
patch quite possibly could cause more problems,
long-term, than it would cure.  I suggest instead
that you cobble together a working compiler.

One possibility is to use GCC.  Another is to put the
Microsoft compiler inside a shell-script wrapper
that filters out the undesirable copyright message.
Or you can try configuring with CFLAGS=-nologo, which is
(obliquely) suggested in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2010-11/msg00015.html>.
I am sure that you can come up with something better than
that August proposed patch.
