I just got a bug report where the configure output featured this:
checking for struct dirent.d_type... (cached) yes checking whether NLS is requested... yes checking for msgfmt... no checking for gmsgfmt... : ./configure: line 31597: 25678 Trace/BPT trap $ac_dir/$ac_word --statistics /dev/null 1>&5 2>&1 checking for xgettext... no ./configure: line 31720: 25718 Trace/BPT trap $ac_dir/$ac_word --omit-header --copyright-holder= --msgid-bugs-address= /dev/null 1>&5 2>&1 checking for msgmerge... no checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/ld checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no checking for shared library run path origin... ./configure: line 31797: 25751 Trace/BPT trap $ac_dir/$ac_word --update -q /dev/null /dev/null 1>&5 2>&1 done checking for CFPreferencesCopyAppValue... yes Is this actually a problem? These messages appear to be from AC_LIB_PATH in lib-link.m4, I think. James.
