Hi, However, a notorious C++ compiler from Redmond is inferior also in its C++ mode and would benefit from an AM_PROG_CXX_C_O variant. If the meat of AM_PROG_CC_C_O becomes part of AC_PROG_CC if would be nice if $CXX could be edited to wrap an inferior C++ compiler in AC_PROG_CXX. I.e. in similar fashion to how $CC would be edited in AC_PROG_CC. Cheers, Peter
