The standards(5) man page for Tru64 5.1 <http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51_HTML/MAN/MAN5/0001____.HTM> says "the cc command includes the -std flag by default". Is this incorrect? At any rate, I don't see how it hurts to use -std rather than -std1, given the described symptoms, so I installed the following patch. 2004-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@xxxxxxxxxxx> * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Try -std, not -std1, since -std1 disables some useful extensions on Tru64. Problem reported by N. Lichtmaier in <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00100.html>.
