We should make our configure test correctly send stderr
to /dev/null, since "not an ELF file" is OK and just
means "test should not pass".

This whole test should be 'only if doing linux-user or
bsd-user builds' I guess, since it's only for those.

This is because OSX's texinfo is ancient.

None of the three things above cause build failures, though,
even with warnings-as-errors.

Hmm. I don't get any warnings about shifting negative values,
so they're presumably new with the clang from 10.11.
We really should figure out what we're doing about those
and get our compiler flags and/or code in line accordingly.

I'm still on 10.10.5 so I don't see the sasl_server_init()
deprecation.
