Hello, I haven't followed the discussion at all, but:

Well, that isn't a reason not to put it in Autoconf now, right? FWIW, I don't know either, but I guess we both have a certain amount of influence we are able to exert. ;-) > Eric or Ralf: I tried to add this piece of #defines to config.h only if > AC_PROG_CC_STDC is defined.

In need of Gary's Trick[tm]? <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2006-09/msg00036.html>. It's a bit ugly in that the resulting code become pretty unobvious, and if more code does this, then ordering relations can easily become a problem. Automake and Libtool do use it though, and it does its job. Cheers, Ralf
