Re: automake 2.5x and SunOS don't seem to mix

[Akim Demaille]

Hi Aharon,

| I have this report from a pretester for my gawk releases.  The
| most recent one used automake 2.53 or 2.54 (I don't remember which)
| and breaks on SunOS (I think 2.54).

Could make it clear whether you have a problem with Autoconf (2.5x) or
Automake (1.x)?

| Akim or someone else please contact me offline for download info
| on the tarball, I'm not ready for the world to get at it yet.
| 
| Here's the report.
| 
| Thanks,
| 
| Arnold

Thanks for the log, but this is not what we need.  We need you to do
what configure said:

> configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
> check `config.log' for details.

i.e., to look at config.log and understand why configure said the
compiler is broken.  Everything is in there.
