Package: g++-3.3 Version: 1:3.3.2-0pre4 Severity: grave Adam Heath recommended I file this bug against gcc/g++ rather than autoconf.
The issue is as follows: configure is over 32767 lines long configure generates a conftest.cc file in that conftest.cc file is the line '#line 32780 "configure"' since the number is greater than 32767 g++ fails saying: conftest.cc:2:7: line number out of range which causes the test to fail and then configure thinks option is unavailable. configure:32757: checking for getdomainname configure:32807: g++ -c -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-string s -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-ch eck-new -pedantic-errors -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT conftest.cc >&5 conftest.cc:1:7: line number out of range configure:32810: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | #line 32780 "configure" | /* confdefs.h. */ ... This happens on my new arts build which has updated autotools, before updating autotools the configure script was small enough that the 32767 limit didn't affect it.
