possible bug

[Erik Solomonson]

I got this while trying to use autoconf while before trying to compile
AbiWord on Solaris 8.

Output from uname -a: SunOS sa2 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-5_10

-----the output of configure that lead to the possible bug -----------

I'm trying to make AbiWord into a Solaris 8 package for Sparc and am a
newbie at autoconf.  Let me know if I can be of anymore help.
