Hi,
With autoconf-2.13, I have been using constructs like the one below
to detect whether gcc is used:
[Similar constructs are used in libiberty, libgloss, newlib and
Cygwin's winsup]
if test $ac_cv_prog_gcc = yes; then
# do something
fi
This test relies on the value of ac_cv_prog_gcc. With CVS-autoconf,
however,
if test $ac_cv_prog_gcc = yes;
gets expanded into
if test $ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu() = yes;
I am not sure if this is a valid shell expression at all. At least
it doesn't give the expected result and breaks configure scripts
which have been working with autoconf-2.13.
[Yes, I know, I could have used $GCC instead of ac_cv_prog_gcc :)]
