OBJEXT is only a build feature while EXEEXT is both a build feature
and a host feature.

Maybe we should just make the difference between cross-compilation or
not? Here is what I propose.
1. AC_INIT uses uname to compute CYGWIN32, MINGW32 and EMXOS2,
hence OBJEXT and EXEEXT.
2. AC_LANG_COMPILER if cross-compiling runs the old Cygwin32 etc.

It's neither, nor should it matter. It's a feature of the compiler. If
there's an alternative Cygwin compiler that generates .com files, then
that's what EXEEXT is. If there's a regular Unix compiler that generates
a file 'foo.bazoo' whe
I'm happy to say that running the test suites of both Libtools and of
Automake with CVS Autoconf works fine.

I get a sed error, unescaped line termination character during the final stage
of the ./configure on Darwin, it is trying to write the makefiles... has anyone
found a solution to this?

Nope, the output of the compiler follows conventions of the host
machine, so it's a characteristic of the host.

What is really scary is that the testsuite doesn't test C++ at all (but it
has few tests for Fortran 77).

Please find one such cross-compiler before speculating on their
existence. All compilers I know of that genera

Ok, but I'd rather have the macros renamed to either _AC_HOST_???EXT
or _AC_CC_???EXT (and only test with the C compiler).
But I'm also a bit unsure as to whether we should use _AC_LINK_I

The following simple configure.in seems to be causing problems, with
the latest CVS libtool from the multi-language-branch, and CVS
autoc

Methinks config.guess should do it. Can't it tell cygwin fro
