Re: [autoconf] Re: Problems Configuring (C Compiler cannot produce executables)

It is not autoconf's responsibility, and I think the testing code
in configure should not depend with -Wall and -Wextra, but some
software packages may have the configure checking if any warnings
are issued /or not. I remember, the configure in pixman had ever
checked the warning.
