After a couple of e-mails and a little trial-and-error, I've narrowed
down the scope of this problem: ac_objext is being set correctly by
configure. However, it's not occurring until well after the ANSI C
headers have been checked. As such, the check--which relies on this
variable's value--is failing.
First, what macro is generating the "checking for ANSI C header
files..." test? (My environment is very large and trial-and-error
elimination may take me a very long time.) I'd like to reorganize my
configuration around this problem.
Second, which macro is generating the "checking for suffix of object
files..." test? Moving this test to a time before the header check may
be another way of fixing this problem.
Third, is this the intended operation of autoconf? I haven't read any
documentation that states an explicit order in which tests must be
invoked, but I may have missed something. If I have not missed
something, either the documentation should be updated or this
order-dependent behavior should be modified.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
