Thanks Lars, I completely missed this point. I really read `-ef' as
`-e -f', which makes no sense anyway :)
Now with your remark in mind, given the snippet which uses it
+ if test conftest -ef conftest.exe; then
+ # Prefer .exe over empty suffix.
+ ac_cv_exeext=.exe
+ else
+ ac_cv_exeext=
+ fi
I think it is OK to use it, since the fall back is TRT. The only
problem is with error messages from test, so I'd propose:
+ if (test conftest -ef conftest.exe) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+ # Prefer .exe over empty suffix.
+ ac_cv_exeext=.exe
+ else
+ ac_cv_exeext=
+ fi
