Details:
Running 'autoreconf -fiv' on coreutils creates a configure script that fails:
/configure: line 6425: syntax error near unexpected token
`ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89'
./configure: line 6425: ` ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89'
I could not find any reference to this in configure.ac, but the offending part
of configure is:
for ac_arg in '' ac_prog_cc_stdc=c89
ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89
do
CC="$ac_save_CC $ac_arg"
if ac_fn_c_try_compile "$LINENO"
then :
ac_cv_prog_cc_c89=$ac_arg
fi
rm -f core conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext conftest.beam
test "x$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89" != "xno" && break
done
-------
I can fix this manually by changing to:
ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89
for ac_arg in '' ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc
do
...
but that is not a good solution.
More info is available upon request.
