Alas, sadly not "all the logs" -- the most important one ('tests/test-suite.log'
created by "make check" itself, and holding the details of the runs of skipped
and failed test) is not present. But see below.

Hmm... that test doesn't even use the C compiler, so your patch shouldn't
affect it anyway [1]. At this point, I'd like to just go ahead and applied
the patch in your name -- speaking of which, would you mind telling us your
full name, so that we can use it for the THANKS addition and for the git
commit's "Author" field?
Thanks,

[1] Still, if you want to try to reproduce the failure, feel free to do
so and to open a new report by writing to bug-autom...@gnu.org; we'd
really appreciate that.
