That's because there hasn't been a loop--I've just been slow to
respond to this bug report.

I patched the config.* files, but there are no changes to autoconf per
se. The problem with NonStop UNIX on Tandem is that, apparently, the
linker defers detecting unresolved symbols until runtime--thus, the
autoconf macros which do library tests such as AC_CHECK_LIB cannot
work on this platform. I can't think of a clean way of dealing with
the problem, either.
