David Reiss commented on THRIFT-381:
------------------------------------
I don't know. It's still possible that it might be fixed some time in the
future. My preference would be to just bump the priority down to trivial.
By the way, here is what I found:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Compilers-and-Preprocessors.html
states "If the compiler being used does not produce executables, the tests
fail. If the executables can't be run, and cross-compilation is not enabled,
they fail too." This is the exact behavior we want, but AC_PROG_CXX doesn't
behave this way (it sets CXX to g++ even if g++ doesn't work), and there is no
indication why. I'm not really up for rewriting that cross-compilation
detection logic. I'm more likely to just try to report it as a bug in autoconf.
