Hi,
I would like to notify you about a problem that I found during
installation of the grep package.
I tried to compile on a linux cluster, but the configure failed.
The system is:

> uname -a
Linux node248 2.4.21-278-smp #1 SMP Mon Mar 7 09:17:29 UTC 2005 i686 unknown

and I was using an intel compiler (icc).

The configure reported that:

> ./configure \
- -
-
--prefix=$LM_AUTO_DIR/install/${LM_ARCH}.${LM_COMPILER}${LM_OPTIONS}/grep-2.5.1a
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking build system type... config.sub: too many arguments
Try `config.sub --help' for more information.
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub ld /usr/lib/crt1.o

i686-pc-linux-gnu failed

The problem is due to the fact that icc compiler write on standard
output the linker call, as you can see above; this output must be
discarded. I had to change line 879 of config.guess script:

879c879
<       $CC_FOR_BUILD $dummy.c -o $dummy 2>/dev/null 1>&2 && ./$dummy
"${UNAME_MACHINE}" && rm -f $dummy.c $dummy && exit 0
- - ---
>       $CC_FOR_BUILD $dummy.c -o $dummy 2>/dev/null && ./$dummy
"${UNAME_MACHINE}" && rm -f $dummy.c $dummy && exit 0

After this change, the configure works correctly.
Bye
   Simone
