Hi Bob,
Thanks for tracking down the cause.
I'm forwarding your report to the autoconf mailing list.

| You can recreate this problem on strife.proulx.com
[I think it's an hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.01]
| tar xzvf fileutils-4.0.45.tar.gz
| cd fileutils-4.0.45
| CC=cc CFLAGS='-O' ./configure
|
| I am pretty sure the problem is that the test for ranlib creates it.

| address@hidden:/tmp: ranlib --version
| ar: creating --version
| address@hidden:/tmp: ls -ld ./--version
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 rwp esl 8 Apr 23 23:15 ./--version
|
| Looking at config.log I find:
|
| configure:2667: checking for ranlib
| configure:2682: found /usr/ccs/bin/ranlib
| configure:2684: /usr/ccs/bin/ranlib --version </dev/null >&2
| + eval $ac_dir/$ac_word --version </dev/null >&2
| + /usr/ccs/bin/ranlib --version
| + 0< /dev/null 1>& 2
| ar: creating --version
| configure:2687: $? = 0
| configure:2697: result: ranlib
|
| How has the ranlib test changed recently?
|
| Thanks
| Bob
|
| P.S. On AIX I get:
|
| $ ranlib --version
| ar: Not a recognized flag: -
| ranlib: 0654-601 Execution of ar failed
| Usage: ranlib [-t] file ...
|
| And no file is created.
