+Subject: [PATCH] Disable portability warning as error
+
+With latest automake 1.17 its warning about escape hash
+mark [1] and since configure.ac uses -werror to call automake
+this becomes an error and reconfigure fails.
+
+escape hash mark is non-portable as discussed here [2]
+
+Fow now let it be a warning, it should be fixed in a portable way
