Hi,
Since the update to autoconf 2.5 compatibility, I can’t configure
XEmacs. This is from the end of a configure run, ./configure --enable-mule
--enable-pdump, with a checked-out tree;
[...]
checking size of short... 0
*** PANIC *** Configure tests are not working - compiler is broken.
*** PANIC *** Please examine config.log for compilation errors.
Full configure output is available at
http://parhasard.net/configuring-20050312 , while the corresponding
config.log is at http://parhasard.net/config.log-20050312
Take care,

Thanks for the bug report. Could you please run configure under bash and see
if you get the same result? I suspect the cause is a difference in quoting
rules between bash and NetBSD's /bin/sh that is causing problems with my
re-definition of the macro AC_LANG(C).

Switching to /bin/ksh fixes it; give me five minutes to install bash.

That's great to know. Does the patch below improve things?

Since I'm half a world away and was asleep when you posted your message,
there's no need to rush :-)

Yeah, bash eliminates that issue.
Something that remains is that the ossaudio dynamic library isn’t picked up,
as it needs to be for Linux-emulated sound support on NetBSD (and on
OpenBSD, but we’ve left that to their packaging system so far.) Let me look
into why that is.

Looks like $canonical was being checked, instead of $ac_cv_build. The below
patch fixes that, and should be applied.
ChangeLog addition:
2005-03-13 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net>
* configure.ac (TAB): Check $ac_cv_build, not $canonical, when
working out whether to link against libossaudio.so on NetBSD.
