| If I have a file named "a.*" in my configuration directory, I

|       checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install -c
|       checking for cc... (cached) cc
|       checking for gcc... (cached) cc
|       checking for gcc... (cached) cc
|       checking for C compiler default output... a.file
|       checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C 
compiled programs.

Please *post public*.

That's when we look for a.exe or a.out.  Thanks!

An obvious ``fix'' would be first to ls a.* (before the compilation)
and subtract these afterwards.
