config warning (fwd)

[Nicholas Nethercote]

Hi,

I have a bug report for autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57.
I'm using a sub-version of Linux 2.4.20.  I get the following when
configuring Valgrind:

> checking linux/mii.h usability... no
> checking linux/mii.h presence... yes
> configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h: present but cannot be compiled
> configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
> configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
> configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
> configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to address@hidden ##
> configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##

Problem seems to be that linux/mii.h uses the type 'u16' but doesn't
define it, and nor does linux/types.h (which mii.h includes).  So perhaps
it's not actually a bug in autoconf, rather a bug in the headers on my
machine.  Still, I thought you might like to know.

Everything still seems to work ok afterwards, though.
