Does the patch below fix it?
It looks good, though there is at least one more extension: '.inf',
which is generated with optimization. Other files with extensions
'.dbo', '.dla', etc. are created when object files are produces,
but these don't seem to confuse configure.
I believe we do not need to add the other extensions (except for .inf)
to _AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT_REJECT, unless the compiler uses neither `.o' nor
`.obj' for object. `configure' *should* in fact remove the other files
created during its tests.
The default object extension for that compiler is '.oppc', fwiw.

Also, if I want to avoid upgrading autoconf, is there a way
to fix the problem locally, say, in my aclocal.m4 file ?
Not that I know of. You can always define your own macro, for example
a fixed version with the same name. But that may be very fragile, not
compatible with the next or previous Autoconf, or anything, so I would
not recommend it. Maybe AC_EXEEXT should offer a possibility to
override it.
AC_EXEEXT is marked as obsolete, as autoconf detects the extension 'automatically'.
Oh well. It might have been better if autoconf, recognizing its limitations, would
keep a backdoor for developers to override settings instead of forcing them to live
with false guesses.
Updated patch below.
Ok, that seems to work. Thanks !
Regards,
Stefan
