I installed the following simple patch to work around the Autoconf
problem you reported last month. I'm not sure the fancier solutions
we discussed are worth the aggravation of developing and maintaining
them. Thanks again for reporting the problem.

* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C),
AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Undo 2004-06-04 change, as it didn't work with
HP-UX 11.23 cc/aCC or Tru64 4.0 cc. Problem reported by Noah Misch in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-07/msg00004.html>.
