    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This worked with autoconf 2.69 generated configure files; with autoconf 2.70
generated configure files the configuration aborts like this:


checking how clang -Wextra-semi-stmt reports undeclared, standard C
functions... configure: error: in `/testdir1/build-64':
configure: error: cannot detect from compiler exit status or warnings
See `config.log' for more details


This can be reproduced:
a) on a Unix system, with CC="clang -Wall -Wextra-semi-stmt",
b) on a Windows system, with CC="$HOME/compile clang-cl -Wall".

(Apparently 'clang-cl' enables some more warnings on Windows, than 'clang' on
Unix. Probably for MSVC compatibility.)
