Please, report this to the package maintainers, as it's a configure.ac
problem.  The Autoconf 2.57 doc says:

      Previous versions of Autoconf merely checked whether the header was
   accepted by the preprocessor.  This was changed because the old test was
   inappropriate for typical uses.  Headers are typically used to compile,
   not merely to preprocess, and the old behavior sometimes accepted
   headers that clashed at compile-time.  If you need to check whether a
   header is preprocessable, you can use `AC_PREPROC_IFELSE' (*note
   Running the Preprocessor::).
   
      This scheme, which improves the robustness of the test, also requires
   that you make sure that headers that must be included before the
   HEADER-FILE be part of the INCLUDES, (*note Default Includes::).  If
   looking for `bar.h', which requires that `foo.h' be included before if
   it exists, we suggest the following scheme:
   
   
   AC_CHECK_HEADERS([foo.h])
   AC_CHECK_HEADERS([bar.h], [], [],
   [#if HAVE_FOO_H
   # include <foo.h>
   # endif
   ])

Thanks!

| Hi all,
| On going to rebuild the lib of autoopencas from "Robert Boehne" project I
| encounter following message:
| 
| checking X11/extensions/multibuf.h usability... no
| checking X11/extensions/multibuf.h presence... yes
| configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/multibuf.h: present but cannot be compiled
| configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/multibuf.h: check for missing prerequisite

| configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to address@hidden ##
| configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
| checking for X11/extensions/multibuf.h... yes
| 
| So as mentionned in the message, I just report as this.
| 
| May be can I also mention that I am running an unstable Debian GNU/Linux
