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.
