Right. The code now AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, so it should be fine. The autoconf manual says AC_TRY_COMPILE is obsolete so I didn't want to use it. AC_TRY_COMPILE is used in many places in gnulib though, do we want to care about that? I find AC_TRY_COMPILE slightly easier to work with than AC_COMPILE_IFELSE so perhaps we could argue that it should be non-deprecated, unless there were a strong reason to deprecate it. /Simon
