Thread: URGENT PROBLEM with the 6.3->6.3.1 patch

URGENT PROBLEM with the 6.3->6.3.1 patch

From
Andrew Martin
Date:
The patch to configure contains the following:

*** 3316,3322 ****
  fi
  rm -f conftest*

! if test x$ac_cv_prog_gcc = xyes; then
      echo $ac_n "checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional""... $ac_c" 1>&6
  echo "configure:3322: checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional" >&5
  if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_prog_gcc_traditional'+set}'`\" = set"; then
--- 3316,3322 ----
  fi
  rm -f conftest*

! if test $ac_cv_prog_gcc = yes; then
      echo $ac_n "checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional""... $ac_c" 1>&6
  echo "configure:3322: checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional" >&5
  if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_prog_gcc_traditional'+set}'`\" = set"; then


I am worried that this has undone the patch which was required to get
configure to run properly with anything other than GCC. (I haven't
actually tried 6.3.1, but this change affects that area of the code and
doesn't look healthy...)

    It kind of bothers me that something that is standard in autoconf
breaks on some systems, while, as far as I can tell, its always been this
way ;(

    Andrew, have you asked the developers of autoconf about this?
