I'm tempted to say he is right. Why don't we just check for the exit
status? I couldn't find good information in the ChangeLog.
But even if we don't change the logic, the technology is dead wrong.
It should be
if ${CC-cc} -g ... 2&>1 | grep . >/dev/null; then
Akim
The test to determine whether or not a C compiler accepts the -g flag has
the form,
if test -z "`${CC-cc} -g ... 2&>1`" ; then\
# success
else
# failure
fi
This test fails if the C compiler produces _any_ output, even if it is only
diagnostic output. Perhaps a more robust test would check the exit status?
