Trace/BPT trap from AC_LIB_PATH on Mac OS X

[James Youngman]

I just got a bug report where the configure output featured this:

checking for struct dirent.d_type... (cached) yes
checking whether NLS is requested... yes
checking for msgfmt... no
checking for gmsgfmt... :
./configure: line 31597: 25678 Trace/BPT trap

/dev/null /dev/null 1>&5 2>&1
done
checking for CFPreferencesCopyAppValue... yes

Is this actually a problem?    These messages appear to be from
AC_LIB_PATH in lib-link.m4, I think.
