Somehow, a dnl was output to configure.

Too much quoting, I'd say.

The last time I have seen this error I had mispelled
  AC_CACHE_CHECK([a], [b], [... dnl ...]) 
into
  QC_CACHE_CHECK([a], [b], [... dnl ...])
While the first case is evaluated by m4 as expected, 
the second is simply output as
  QC_CACHE_CHECK(a, b, ... dnl ...)
hence the warning.
