I haven't seen it yet, either.  iirc, we've had a couple of times where
I post the changes late on Sunday and it doesn't propagate very quickly.

duh - no.  I was up too late, I see (sorry).

ok - I'll have to revisit this, then.  This is the only one where you want
to force the compiler to be different; probably I should put c89 into the
AC_PROG_CC macro's search list (though thinking about it, I can recall
that introduces problems with some platforms - using c89 would preset
definitions that broke the POSIX headers)
