Richard Lightman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
configure script confused by gcc-3.2
Long Description
The configure script tries to get gcc's version number into confdefs.h
gcc-3.0.* outputs one line of text, but 3.2 outputs several lines.
When confdef.h is included by configure's test programs, gcc-3.2
complains that multiline string litterals are not allowed.
Configure assumes that this is a valid result for some test, for
example it will assume openssl is not installed when it is.
The example code is a hack that demonstates I have problems using
autoconf, but despite that, "All 76 tests passed" with this patch.
