sun cc -pedantic

[Peter Bunclark]

Hi AutoConf,
        I had 3rd-part software configure fail on Solaris with
"sizeof(char)".  It turns out that they include -pedantic; the -pedantic
check tests that cc -pedantic returns without error. The sun compiler can
legally use cc -p -e dantic which returns without error causes no
executable to be formed.

Later, the sizeof(char) test tries to compile with cc -pedantic and fails.

If I hack the configure script just after the -pedantic test:
                           try_link="`$CC -pedantic -o conftest$ac_exeext \
                                    conftest.$ac_ext 2>&1`"
        try_link=1
                           if test -z "$try_link"; then


it runs through without problems.

Can I pin this one on you?

Cheers
        Peter.
