Re: AC_LINK_IFELSE unexpectedly fails on Ubuntu 12.04

[David Pointon]

Hiya Paul ,

AFAICT, the problem stems from a generated shell function called 
ac_fn_cxx_try_link but there's no trace of that in any of the OJDK scripts 
other than in generated-configure.sh - for which there's no provenance, 
hence I inferred that it came from within autoconf ... but of course, I 
could be wrong ;-/

This would appear to be a problem in OpenJDK's configure.ac
file, not in Autoconf itself, no?  So you should send a bug
report to the OpenJDK folks.
