I added AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_CC])dnl to
/usr/share/autoconf/acspecific.m4, and it made no difference at all. I
did several variations-on-a-theme, with no luck.
Adding
AC_EXEEXT immediately _after_ the AC_PROG_CC line in configure.in for
libtool, made it behave.
I've no idea _why_ this is so, perhaps some m4 guru would like to
investigate? I'm happy to spend time on this, if guided, or ship data
elsewhere.

I _did_ have autoconf CVS HEAD at one point, I reverted to 2.13 to be in
line with other users, and I haven't upgraded again yet. I don't recall
this problem from back then.. if that helps at all :]
