Yes, this is exactly what I am trying to do. What is confusing.

Yes, I know. Normally autoheader will generate just the #undef line; 
the above makes it generate the #undef inside the #ifndef. This is the 
same logic used to generate the _GNU_SOURCE #define in config.in. The 
#undef is changed into a #define by configure on hpux. On other systems, 
you are right that the three lines don't do anything, and that is the 
desired effect.

The problem is that we are trying to avoid a redefinition of 
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, in case this define is by default enabled on a 
particular platform.
