Re: Bug#154053: sendmailconfig fails due to m4 problems on Linux 2.0.x (fwd)

[Akim Demaille]

| Hello.
| I've received the following report from the Debian Bug System.
| 
| By looking at some m4 web pages, it seems to be a known problem.
| Is there a workaround, other than upgrading to Linux 2.2.x or later?
| 
| For example, if the configure script is changed so that it does not
| check for sigaltstack and sigstack:

|  if eval "test \"`echo '${'ac_cv_func_$ac_func'+set}'`\" = set"; then

| would the resulting m4 executable work reliably on every glibc-based system?

I would recommend to fix the AC_CHECK_FUNC invocation to

AC_CHECK_FUNCS([[sigstack]])
