| If the directory where an autoconf 2.50 configure script is run
| has a pre-exisiting file with a name like a.ins, the script gets
| confused about compiler extensions:
|
| /home/bil/cl/ ./configure
| checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
| checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
| checking for gcc... gcc
| checking for C compiler default output... a.ins
| checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C
compiled programs.
| If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
| /home/bil/cl/ ls -la a.ins
| -rw-r--r-- 1 bil bil 5795 Jul 24 1999 a.ins
I'm applying this patch. According to your log, I guess a.out was to
be caught first, right?
