Have no systems with broken `return' at hand,

That's the fundamental problem.  These systems are _ancient_ -- they
all predate C89 -- and they are so old that nobody uses them any more.

As I recall when porting a number of packages to OS/390 and z/OS, all of configure's conftests failed using "return" (SEGV) and I had to change them all to "exit"...
