RE: guile-1.3.4pre - build reports

[rodneybrown at pmsc dot com]

The master configure.in does seem to contain both defines.

Built to make check on
UnixWare 7.1  egcs 1.1.1
UnixWare 7.1  Vendor cc
when configured with --host=i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1 --target=i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1
which is roughly what autoconf 2.15 config.guess will give

sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1  egcs 1.1.2 succeeded unsurprisingly

The build failed on i686-pc-cygwin  (CYGWIN 20.1)
because guile-1.3.4/ice-9/and-let*.scm failed to extract from the tar file

ice-9/and-let*.scm is the only file in the distribution that doesn't match
the pattern [-._a-zA-Z0-9]+  - can it be renamed?

Although I didn't look, I expect the configure.in file is missing the
macro `AM_PROG_CC_STDC' immediately following the AC_PROG_CC
invokation, this is the macro which asserts that the source code you
want to compile is in ANSI style, and will try various flags to make
sure the compiler is put into ANSI mode

Recent versions of libtool support the -Wc,... and -Wl,... options for
passing options to the compiler and the linker respectively.

Cheers,
        Gary.
