Backport #6316: configure script fails to detect executables

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)

=begin
When running (({./configure})) on the git master branch, it fails to detect several executables which are present. See ((<Stack Overflow question and answer|URL:http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/36688/why-doesnt-rubys-configure-script-detect-my-executables-and-header-files>)) for details.

The cause is essentially that (({AC_CHECK_PROG})) takes three arguments, but only two are provided.

• configure.in (DOT, DOXYGEN): use AC_CHECK_PROGS instead of
  AC_CHECK_PROG which needs the third argument. [ruby-core:44433]
  [Bug #6316]
• configure.in (PKG_CONFIG): fix condition to skip older version
  of pkg-config. continue in backticks does not affect outside.
