Fair enough. Would it be possible to remove the `ln -s file dir` check?
And would it work for
Hi all,
I'm trying to improve AC_PROG_LN_S and/or _AS_LN_S_PREPARE on Windows.
MSYS2 docs have a nice recap [1]:

I wasn't there when the magic was written, but I would have expected
AC_PROG_CC_C89, AC_PROG_CC_C99 and possibly new AC_PROG_CC_Cx macros
to select a version of the C standard. Apparently that wasn't their
job and now they've been deprecated in 2.70.

It does address the problem report and it looks good to me, thanks a lot!
It's also a bit less invasive than passing -std:c11 -Zc:__STDC__.
The manual of AC_C_VARARRAYS could mention using

Thanks for your reply and thorough comments.

Dear maintainers,
I'm hacking on the Autoconf scripts for the OCaml compiler [1]. I'm
trying to make them more useful when compiling with the dreaded MSVC.
We've defined CC=cl. I'm having problems running `AC_PROG_CC`. I'd
like to teach it to discover the required options to build my code in
