These systems are _ancient_ -- they all predate C89 -- and they are so old that nobody uses them any more.As I recall when porting a number of packages to OS/390 and z/OS, all of configure's conftests failed using "return" (SEGV) and I had to change them all to "exit"...
Hmm, mainframes? I want to say VMS also uses 'return 1' for success (or maybe it even needs exit; I'm not the one that has to deal with our VMS systems). But as I recall VMS doesn't have a POSIX shell either. Is there any VMS support that anyone is worried about?
