--- Comment #5 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
So, config/unconfig.h also does other things, specifically it defines a bunch
of things (mostly at the end of the file.) The whole point of unconfig.h is to
not have to replicate those autoconf-generated macro definitions manually,
causing continual breakage.

Therefore, unconfig.h needs to be included after the rest of the configuration
 In the case configure is used, it happens to be in the same file; that is only
because I haven't found a way (yet) to make autoconf generate multiple files
(although now when I think about it perhaps autogen.sh could split the file for
clarity.)

Since I don't have a working Watcom setup anymore, it's really important that
any patches get fully implemented and tested before I pick them up, so I need
you to undo that hunk of the patch and test it before I can apply it.

Finally, I am curious what your motivation for using Watcom is; is there any
platform where it is still relevant?
