[adding bug-autoconf, because of the shell bug shown here] | configure:23375: checking whether an open file can be renamed | configure:23397: gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest.exe -D__EMX__ -DOS2 - -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__ -O3 -mtune=pentium3 -Zexe -Zomf -Zmap -Zargs-wild - -Zbin-files -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__ -s conftest.c >&5 | configure:23397: $? = 0 | configure:23397: ./conftest.exe | configure:23397: $? = -/ | configure: program exited with status -/ Wow. Your shell is buggy. $? is never supposed to hold a non-numeric value. Your config.log shows that you loaded a config.site, where you pre-define SHELL=sh and ac_cv_path__PATH_SH='/moztools/ash.exe, so maybe it just means you have a broken ash installed? Does OS/2 even come with a default pre-built bourne-style shell, or is ash something you built yourself? Can you upgrade to a better shell? At any rate, your platform seems more and more like a lost cause. The fact that configure doesn't even complete means that autoconf-generated scripts are not portable to your platform; we would have to fix that first, but we can't even write an autoconf patch to work around corruption in $? unless you can find a workaround. Meanwhile, since you obviously can't rename an in-use file, you can get past this check by calling './configure M4_cv_func_rename_open_file_works=no'. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
