Ok, then there are two possible simple fixes:
 - Strip -std from CCASFLAGS if Apple's gcc 4.0 is encountered, or
 - Always strip -std from CCASFLAGS. The flag shouln't have any effect when 
compiling assembly.

I can confirm that the problem appears specific to Apple's compiler.

Since the failure was reported to be configure-time, that took less time to 
check up on that I'd expected.
What I find is that gcc-4.0.0 on Linux/x86 *does* fail the "#_gsym_test_func" 
test, but for the RIGHT reason, and then goes on to
pass the next test case with the proper form of global symbol.  The relevent 
portion of config.log appears below.

            I will take a look and see if there is a simple fix to get around 
this apparent compiler bug.

                  =============

                  MTT turned up a problem with -std=gnu99 on OS X Leopard, 
which ships with the gcc 4.0
                  compiler (OS X Snow Leopard ships with gcc 4.2, and doesn't 
have a problem).  Does anyone
                  have gcc 4.0 on Linux?  I'm wondering if the same problem 
would occur.

                  More details:
                  =============

                        From our friends at Absoft:


                  -----
                  The -std=gnu99 is causing the problem when used with gcc-4.0 
( the default on Leopard with
                  Apple's XCode 3.1 development tools ):

                  BigMac:ompi cag$ gcc --version -std=gnu99 -c conftest.s
                  conftest.s:2:3: error: invalid preprocessing directive

                  conftest.s:5:3: error: invalid preprocessing directive

                  BigMac:ompi cag$ gcc-4.0 -std=gnu99 -c conftest.s
                  conftest.s:2:3: error: invalid preprocessing directive

                  conftest.s:5:3: error: invalid preprocessing directive

                  BigMac:ompi cag$

                  On Snow Leopard with Apple's XCode 3.2 development tools, the 
default compiler is 4.2.
                  -----

                  The compile line he's talking about in particular is from a 
configure test in
                  opal/config/opal_config_asm.m4, where we're looking for 
assembly global symbols.  The source
                  that we're trying to compile is:

                  -----
                  .text
                  # _gsym_test_func
                  .globl _gsym_test_func
                  _gsym_test_func:
                  # _gsym_test_func
                  -----

                  (configure tries a few prefixes)

                  But the "#" token with the -std=gnu99 option is causing 
failures where it shouldn't (i.e., it
                  causes configure to abort because all the assembly tests 
looking for the global symbols error
                  out due to the # token.

                  So I think we either need to find a workaround for this 
assembly test or whack the idea of
                  the C99 stuff.  :-(
