OK, so I am starting to loose my sanity here...

So, my working assumption was that, with the bundled configure script,
the configure failure was different than if autoreconfiguring.

I checked again. It is not different; it is the same ___udivsi3 hidden
symbol issue.

Still, I don't understand why calling AC_PROG_CC before AC_PROG_CXX
does not exhibit the issue. Is autoconf happy enough to see that the C
compiler works that it does not check the C++ compiler?

OK, I'll back off hacking complex stuff for tonight... It's 35?C here,
so that's probably the reason why I'm all weird tonight... :-/

Yann E. MORIN.
