It's a bit cleaner than echoing a #define into the config header. Better yet, sometimes there's a variable that can be defined on the configure command line -- perhaps $ac_have_strncasecmp -- to force configure to do the right thing. > in install-impl.sh > just after the guile configure and before the make > > I've incorporated this fix into my downloadable file of fixes as referred to > on the wiki page I updated. > More as and when I find any further issues.
