Nope. Too complicated for little advantage. And it does not address the real problem: newbies do not know about config.log. It'd be better to tell the user to turn to config.log for details when there's a problem. (and that's actually what the above grumble-message says), so it might be more reasonable to modify the fail-routine to something the look of: checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables check config.log for details
