oops, I'm sorry for that.  But I'd like to understand the cause of
the error.

because config.status opens redirects AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD to 'config.log'
and then ../src/configure is not able to truncate it.

With my patch, "config.status" should not touch 'config.log', so the
situation should be the same as if ../src/configure were called directly
from the command line.

Who has config.log open, then?

Thank you in advance for any clarification.

Have a nice day,
