Overriding compiletestc would have fixed Configure.pl but there was still a bunch of Makefile issues. The problem is that gcc uses the same option (-o) to specify the name for both an object and executable file and ld also uses the same option. On Win32, all three are different. So instead of just using the ld_out option, I added cc_o_out and cc_exe_out options. In Configure.pl, they're all set to '-o ' but in mswin32.pl they're set to the appropriate strings for that platform. I had to modify a few of the Makefile.in files to use the correctly named options. None of the other hint files set the ld_out option so I'm assuming that they can all use the defaults of '-o '. The attached patch builds for me on Win32. After applying it, re-Configure.pl and make to see if I screwed up the Unix builds. Jason.
