Alexandre,

Libtool (libtool.m4) is checking the variable ac_cv_prog_gcc in order
to determine if the --with-gcc should be passed to ltconfig.

I see this in the Autoconf changelog:

2000-10-16  Akim Demaille  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * aclang.m4 (_AC_LANG_COMPILER_GNU): New macro, which unifies...
        (_AC_PROG_F77_GNU, _AC_PROG_CC_GNU, _AC_PROG_CXX_GNU): Remove.
        Adjust dependencies.
        (ac_cv_prog_gcc, ac_cv_prog_gxx, ac_cv_prog_g77): AU_ALIAS'ed.

I am not sure what AU_ALIAS is supposed to do, but obviously it does
not cause ac_cv_prog_gcc to be set in the configure script.  Instead
ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu is set, and ac_cv_prog_gcc is not set at all.

What is the best fix for this problem?  It seems like autoconf needs
to set ac_cv_prog_gcc in order to provide backward compatability
for libtool.
