1999-10-07 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>
* Makefile.in (dist): Fixed for srcdir != objdir.
1999-10-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT): Reintroduce its
AC_DEFUN.
1999-10-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4: Various formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS): Declare main returns an int.
1999-10-05 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>
Shell meta characters in an argument causes the configure script
to freak out and generate a config.status file that contains
syntax errors.
Bug triggered by ./configure --with-foobar=\''`"$'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Quote single quotes that end
up between single quotes. Protect arguments of echo with double
quotes.
(AC_INIT_PREPARE): Likewise.
(AC_PATH_PROG): Protect argument of test.
(AC_OUTPUT): Quote meta characters in ac_configure_args.
1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
The sed quoting script depends on the shape of the commands used
by AC_SUBST. The latter was changed, but not the former.
Bug triggered with FOO='%\c' AC_SUBST(FOO).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Fix the sed quoting script.
1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
When you rely on the `t' flag of sed for the immediately
preceding substitution, use a combination of `: foo; t foo'.
Bug triggered if you AC_DEFINE(FOO, "%").
Additionally, work around a bug in IRIX sed.
Suggested by Ken Pizzini.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Added a label and a test in the
sed code of `$ac_cs_root.hdr'.
1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Handle arbitrary version numbers.
Reported by H.J. Lu.
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_split): Support a second optional argument: a
regexp to specify where to split.
(m4_compare): New macro, compares arbitrary long m4 lists of
integers.
(AC_PREREQ_SPLIT, AC_PREREQ_CANON, AC_PREREQ_COMPARE): Removed,
replaced by more generic macros.
(AC_PREREQ): Reimplemented, using m4_compare and m4_split.
1999-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Beware of the expansions of $n in comments.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Changed $1 into $[1] in dnls.
1999-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Revert partially the previous changes: AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT is
used by AC_HEADER_DIRENT.
* autoheader.m4: Restablish the hook for AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT):
Reinserted.
1999-10-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
AC_DIR_HEADERS is hasbeen'ed.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_DIR_HEADER): Raised from obsolete to hasbeen.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT):
Removed, were used only by AC_DIR_HEADER and were not documented.

AC_HAVE_LIB.
(Particular Headers): likewise for AC_UNISTD_H, AC_MEMORY_H,
AC_USG.
(C Compiler Characteristics): Likewise for AC_INT_16_BITS,
AC_LONG_64_BITS.
1999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Make the handling of the configuration links (AC_LINK_FILES)
exactly the same as that of configurations files (AC_OUTPUT_FILES)
and headers (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS). As a result, it is sane to run
./config.status src/libmy_lib
or
CONFIG_LINKS=src/lib_mylib:lib/lib_mylib ./config.status
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Use AC_FATAL to diagnose bad
number of argument.
Obsoleted (but implemented) in favor of AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): New macro. Takes space
separated list of DEST:SOURCES arguments.
* acgeneral.m4: Rename each occurence of AC_LIST_HEADER as
AC_LIST_HEADERS for consistency.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT, config.status prologue): Move the
definition of config_files and config_headers to the top.
Add the definition of config_links.
Change the help message to use the aforementioned variables.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Adapted to the new scheme of
AC_LIST_LINKS.
* autoconf.texi (Output, AC_OUTPUT): Mention AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
(Invoking config.status): Mention CONFIG_LINKS.
* autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Document AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
Explicit the obsoleteness of AC_LINK_FILES.
1999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Moving most of the task of creating config.h.in from sh to m4.
Getting rid of acconfig.h by supply a major new family of macros:
AH_* which make it possible to insert arbitrary text into
config.h.in.
* autoheader.m4: Major rewrite: introduction of a set of macros
AH_ that produce code into config.h.in. There are two sets of
macros: generic macros, or specialized, documented below. The
basic idea is that an AC_FOO macro which needs an entry in
config.h.in should have a sibling AH_FOO which expands into that
entry. In a near future, these macros will be moved next to their
siblings.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, AH_DEFINE, AH_DEFINE, AH_NEED_DECLS,
AH_CHECK_SIZEOF, AH_CHECK_FUNCS, AH_CHECK_HEADERS,
AH_CHECK_HEADERS, AH_CHECK_LIB, AH_PROG_LEX, AH_FUNC_ALLOCA,
AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, AH_AIX, AH_F77_WRAPPERS): New macros.
* autoheader.m4 (End section): Bind AC_ macros to their
AH_siblings.
* autoheader.sh: Remove the sections in charge of SYMS, TYPES,
FUNCS, HEADERS, LIBS and DECLS: autoheader.m4 is now in charge of
these.
* autoheader.sh (options): Added -d, --debug, which does not
remove the temporary files.
* autoheader.sh: Instead of redirecting stdout to the output
stream, always output to a temporary file. This allows to change
slightly the consistency check: before autoheader would check that
each non documented AC_DEFINE is templated in an acconfig. Now it
just checks whether the template is in the output file.
* acconfig.h: Completely emptied, the remaining templates
(_ALL_SOURCE, __CHAR_UNSIGNED__, F77_FUNC, F77_FUNC_,
HAVE_STRINGIZE, and STACK_DIRECTION) are now either associated to
their AC_DEFINE, or to one of the new AH_ macros.
* acgeneral.m4: Reordering of the m4 macros which are not specific
to Autoconf.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIB): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_CPP): Fixed quoting problem, and missing ^
in patsubst.
(AC_TR_SH): Fixed quoting problem.
1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Don't output an extra space after the
last word.
1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Merged the trunk into the experimental branch.
1999-09-29 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for the kstat_open()
function in libkstat (on systems such as Solaris). This family of
functions is preferred since they don't require setgid permissions
to use them. Fix for autoconf/65.
1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acconfig.h: Commit the change announced below.
1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Changed from
const charset x;
to
const charset x = {0, 0};
From Jim Meyering.
1999-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Start to get rid of acconfig.h. It is an anachronism.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Both cases must be evaluated the
same number of times.
* acconfig.h (_ALLOCA, CLOSEDIR_VOID, const, CRAY_STACKSEG_END,
DGUX, DIRENT, GETGROUPS_T, GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED, GETPGRP_VOID,
gid_t, HAVE_ALLOCA, HAVE_ALLOCA_H, HAVE_DOPRNT, HAVE_FNMATCH,
HAVE_GETLOADAVG, HAVE_GETMNTENT, HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE,
HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES, HAVE_MMAP, HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS,
HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE, HAVE_ST_BLOCKS, HAVE_STRCOLL, HAVE_ST_RDEV,
HAVE_STRFTIME, HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H, HAVE_TM_ZONE, HAVE_TZNAME,
HAVE_UNISTD_H, HAVE_UTIME_NULL, HAVE_VFORK_H, HAVE_VPRINTF,
HAVE_WAIT3, inline, INT_16_BITS, LONG_64_BITS, MAJOR_IN_MKDEV,
MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS, _MINIX, NDIR, NEED_MEMORY_H, NLIST_NAME_UNION,
NLIST_STRUCT, NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O, F77_NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O,
_POSIX_1_SOURCE, _POSIX_SOURCE, RETSIGTYPE, SELECT_TYPE_ARG1,
SELECT_TYPE_ARG234, SELECT_TYPE_ARG5, SETPGRP_VOID,
SETVBUF_REVERSED, STAT_MACROS_BROKEN, STDC_HEADERS, SVR4, SYSDIR,
SYSNDIR, SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED, TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME, TM_IN_SYS_TIME,
uid_t, UMAX, UMAX4_3, USG, vfork, VOID_CLOSEDIR, WORDS_BIGENDIAN,
X_DISPLAY_MISSING, YYTEXT_POINTER): Removed their autoheader
template. They are now documented with their own AC_DEFINE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HASBEEN): New macro. Same as AC_OBSOLETE, but
dies.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_UNISTD_H, AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H, AC_INT_16_BITS,
AC_LONG_64_BITS): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Define via AC_DEFINE, so
that we program things only once.
(AC_DEFINE): Use AC_WRAP and _AC_SH_QUOTE. It is now safe to have
backquotes and extra spaces in the third argument, without
yielding a bad result.
* autoheader.m4: Instead of a huge `eval', use a temporary file.
(option handling): Added --debug, to keep the temporary files.
Fixed a couple of missing quotes.
1999-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Make AC_FOREACH be robust to active symbols.

`if-(not-)found' to `if-(not-)needed.
Define NEED_DECL_foo, instead of NEED_foo_DECL.
* autoheader.sh (decls): Reflect this.
* autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Update.
1999-09-27 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* autoscan.pl (scan_files): Emit an AC_PROG_CC invocation to
configure.scan if there are any C files present. Fix for
autoconf/19.
1999-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Divert AC_OUTPUT_FILE to
AC_DIVERSION_KILL if there are no CONFIG_FILES.

only if there are.
1999-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Rewritten.
(AC_HELP_STRING): Wrapper of AC_WRAP.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Rewritten. Don't try to handle
both backslashed and non backslashed backquotes in a single
string: consider that either all the backquotes are quoted, or
none.
1999-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG): Use a single case statement for
Unix and DOS absolute paths.

$ac_sources if this variable is otherwise empty. Fix for
autoconf/30.
1999-09-25 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* autoconf.texi (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF): Do not mention which systems
might have their setvbuf() arguments reordered. It's difficult to
accurately determine and is not essential. Fix for autoconf/7.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Emit an error if an incorrect
number of arguments are collected. Fix for autoconf/10.
1999-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

to specify the files to configure on the command line instead of
via envvars. Document it.
1999-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Rename the occurences of the variable `confstat'
as `ac_cs_root'. The previous name was breaking the naming
scheme.
* TODO: Updated.
Added a section for 2.15 and 3.
1999-09-24 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Define ISLOWER and ISUPPER
macros correctly on EBCDIC systems. Contributed by Kurt D.
Zeilenga <kurt@openldap.org>. Fix for autoconf/6.
1999-09-24 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_VOLATILE): New test.

* autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document it.
1999-09-24 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>

commented out in configure.in. Reported by Erez Zadok
<ezk@cs.columbia.edu> as a fix for autoconf/21.
* install.texi: Replace `can not' with `cannot'.
1999-09-23 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
Avoid that comments from aclocal.m4 show up in configure when
using AC_REVISION.
* acgeneral.m4: New diversion levels AC_DIVERSION_KILL and
AC_DIVERSION_BINSH introduced. Use AC_DIVERSION_KILL as the
initial value for AC_DIVERSION_CURRENT.

(AC_REVISION): Likewise.
(AC_INIT): Set AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE when calling AC_INIT_NOTICE.
1999-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* NEWS: Document AC_ARG_VAR.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Add a third argument to tune the
width of the first column.
(AC_INIT_NOTICE): Initialize ac_arg_enable_help, ac_arg_with_help,
and ac_arg_var_help.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Remove the handling of
--env-var=. After debate, the solution chosen to specify envvars
to configure is a` la make: ./configure VAR=VAL.
(AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, --help): Output ac_arg_enable_help,
ac_arg_with_help, and ac_arg_var_help.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_VAR): New macro, to register and document
influent envvars.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Document CFLAGS.
This is mainly to test AC_ARG_VAR. Var to document are to be
defined.
1999-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_default): New macro.
(AC_CHECK_LIB): When ACTION-IF-FOUND is specified, don't perform
the default action.
Reported by Pavel.
1999-09-22 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Clear the CCOPTS environment variable before
invoking the C compiler on HP-UX. This is necessary to guarantee
that the test program is compiled correctly. Reported by Dietmar
P. Schindler <schd@mra.man.de>.
1999-09-22 Linas Vepstas <linas@linas.org>
* config.guess: Add OS/390 match pattern.

(AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Adapted.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR): Remove, it is useless.
(AC_TR_CPP): Updated version of formerly AC_TR_DEFINE, based on
the model of AC_TR_SH.
All callers changed.
* autoconf.sh (Checking for Bugs): Remove the indirection that
made the `sort -u' useless.
1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (Last sed cmd): Change also @PND@ to `#', since this
is also a symbol very hard to quote in m4.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use AC_VAR_*.
* acgeneral.m4: Use `m4_BUILTIN' instead of indirection via
`builtin'.
1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

AC_HEADER_STAT and AC_HEADER_TIME from here...
(Particular Headers): to here.

(Particular Headers): Move doc of AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST from here...
(Particular Declarations): to here.
1999-09-21 Kaveh R. Ghazi <ghazi@caip.rutgers.edu>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECL, AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECLS): New
macros.
* autoconf.texi (AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECL, AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECLS):
Document.
* autoheader.m4: Add support for AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECLS.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_IFELSE): New macro.
(AC_VAR_IF_SET): Use it.
(AC_CHECK_FUNC): Likewise.
* Makefile.in (${srcdir}/configure): Use autoconf.sh to build
Autoconf's configure. Before the building was performed running
m4 at hand, but much was not done (e.g., __oline__,
@BKL@... expansion)
1999-09-21 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* THANKS: Update some mail addresses.
1999-09-21 Nick Clifton <nickc@cygnus.com>
* config.sub: Add fr30 target.
1999-09-21 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* configure.in: Check if an appropriate version of GNU m4 is
installed at configure-time rather than at runtime. From Pavel
Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>. Fix for autoconf/2.
* configure: Regenerate.
1999-09-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't remove the CONFIG_HEADERS
unconditionaly: it breaks the `config.h has not changed' trick.
1999-09-20 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
* autoheader.sh: Fix the tr invocation.
1999-09-20 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* autoheader.sh: Bourne shell compatibility fix. From Pavel Roskin
<pavel_roskin@geocities.com>.
1999-09-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Improve configure's --help.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Change the root of filenames of
config.status from $conftest to $confstat.
The previous patch to make config.status reentrant was wrong,
because it changed some `conftest' that are used by configure into
`$conftest', while it was for config.status only. To avoid
another confusion like this, all the filenames of config.status
should be `$confstat*', and those of configure should be
`conftest*'.
(AC_OUTPUT): Rename the uses of `ac_file' for the sed fragments as
`ac_sed_frag'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): This macro used to open the here
documents that configure uses to generate config.status, included
that of the submacros. Now, it no longer handles the here
documents for its subroutines (it was far to hard to track).
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Open and close your here documents to
$CONFIG_STATUS.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Move $ac_vpsub and $extrasub
from the AC_SUBST substitutions (i.e., that of @SHELL@ etc.) to
the specific section (that of @srcdir@ etc.).
Now the ``general substitution'' section is absolutely uniform.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SUBST): Change sed call from `s%@from@%to%g'
into `s%@from@%to%;t t'.
(AC_SUBST_FILE): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Optimize the sed scripts by branching if there
are no `@' on the line. Impressive speed up.
* Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add THANKS.
* THANKS: New file.
1999-09-17 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Detect QNX version 4.
* config.sub: Handle `qnx' and `i386-qnx' aliases.
1999-09-17 Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
* config.guess: Eliminate the trailing dot if ${UNAME_RELEASE} is
1.4-<SOMETHING>. Fix for autoconf/22.
1999-09-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE): Use ifset.
(AC_CHECK_FUNC): Updated to use AC_VAR_*, and AC_CACHE_CHECK.
(AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Likewise.
(AC_CACHE_CHECK): Use AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED.
(AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED): New macro.
1999-09-15 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>
Fix for autoconf/28.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012, use
`echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
* autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
* configure: Rebuilt.
1999-09-14 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012,
use `echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
* autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
* configure: Rebuilt.
Reported by Christian Krone <krischan@sql.de>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDE): New macro.
* autoconf.texi: Document it.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Save INSTALL in
ac_given_INSTALL, so that we can adjust relative pathnames for
sub-configures.
* acgeneral.m4 (Configuration): Accept --env-VAR=VALUE and
VAR=value.
* autoconf.texi, install.texi: Document it.
* configure: Rebuilt.
1999-09-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Rewrite in m4. Have m4 work, and
give a break to sh.
(_AC_FOREACH): Be careful not to evaluate the arguments. A loop
over *quoted* macro names should loop over the macro names, not
upon their expansion.
(_AC_COMMATIZE): Also swallow end of lines.
* autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Updated to reflect the
changes.
1999-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (ifset): New helpy tiny macro.
(AC_OUTPUT): Improved --help of config.status.
(AC_OUTPUT): Remove inconditionaly all the files to be updated.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use pid to define the temporary file names in order
to allow parallel builds.
* autoconf.sh: Substitute also /@BKL@/[/ /@BKR@/]/ /@DLR@/$/ so
that these characters are more easily accessible from m4 without
turning changequote juggling into a nightmare.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): New macro, for word wrapping.
* autoconf.texi: Update the direntry for more modern Texinfos.
Add pointer to configure and config.status.
Remove the dots from the menus: horizontal space is precious.

Tue Nov 18 14:21:38 1997 Eric Mumpower <nocturne@cygnus.com>
* autoreconf.sh: Do the right thing when AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
given more than one filename. As noted in the "Invoking
autoheader" node of the info files, autoheader will use the first
file argument given to AC_CONFIG_HEADER. Prior to this patch,
autoreconf would end up executing incorrect shell code (e.g.
"test ! -f 1.h 2.h.in") in such cases.
Patch submitted in parallel to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.

From Paul Eggert.
* Test release 2.11.1.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK): Make the final

(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, AC_OUTPUT): Use them instead of appending to
list macros.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move initialization of
ac_max_here_lines here from AC_OUTPUT_HEADER.
* autoheader.sh: Take the multiple-include protection back out.
It's not needed for a file that just #defines stuff, and, as Ken
Raeburn pointed out in Apr 1994:
Since you don't make it optional, and you don't give the writer of
configure.in much control over the name of the symbol, it also would
prevent one "config.h" file in a subdirectory from including
"../config.h" as a way to avoid duplicating some common tests.

running a program, just try linking.

compiler works before checking whether it's a GNU compiler.
(AC_FUNC_VFORK): Call _exit after perror.

(AC_FUNC_STRFTIME): Check for it in -lintl only if it's not in the
normal libraries.
* Test release 2.10.3.
* testsuite/Makefile.in (dejacheck): New target, suggested by Tom
Tromey <tromey@creche.cygnus.com>.
(check): Depend on dejacheck.

of -O. Suggested by fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).

AC_CONFIG_HEADER a value containing shell variables. Suggested by
Markku Savela <msa@msa.tte.vtt.fi> and Julian Onions
<j.onions@nexor.co.uk>.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK): Deal with smart
compilers that know that an unused function doesn't have to be
linked in: call the function directly from main().
(Removing a legacy from when they tried to run the code, I think-djm.)
From fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Rename ac_save_LIBS to avoid
a clash with AC_CHECK_LIB.
From Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>.
(AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3,
AC_FUNC_STRCOLL, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Rename cache variables to avoid
wrong results if someone calls AC_CHECK_FUNC for these functions.
* autoheader.sh: Don't cmp with config.h.in if it doesn't exist yet.
Don't frob lines 1-@TOP@ or @BOTTOM@-end of acconfig.h's.
Accept TAB as well as SPC after #undef in acconfig.h's.
Sat Nov 9 01:54:04 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>

It turns out it's a separate issue, for GNU grep.
Replace the test program with a new version from Mike Haertel.
