RE: Problem with configure falsely detecting presence ofsystemroutines(while porting to NSK)

[Kelly F. Hickel]

It's really just a couple of shell scripts that (essentially) run NOFT
(think nm) on the compiled file, sort out irresolvable symbols, and if
there are any, generates an error message, giving the configure script
something to get it's teeth into.
