This is sane-backends-1.0.7.tar.gz downloaded from ftp.mostang.com?

Line 42 is:

                          This option is in no way related to

I don't think it can create any problems.

However, the output you are writing about seems to be generated at
line 4938:

echo creating "$ac_file"
rm -f "$ac_file"
configure_input="Generated automatically from echo $ac_file_in|sed 's%.*/%%'$  case "$ac_file" in
*Makefile*) ac_comsub="1i\\
      
Did you copy the output by hand? Please don't do that. Try
something like

./configure >dbg.log 2>&1

and send us the dbg.log file.

Try "rm config.cache" before you run configure again.

Especially the output after "echo creating" would be interesting.

If a config.log file was created, please send it also.

Did you use any options for configure?

Bye,
