AFAIK it has been introduced and is used by users as workaround (e.g., by setting it in config.site). So if we can agree to it, we should probably document it rather than zapping it. See for example <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-01/msg01220.html>.
Or we could steal code to set it appropriately from gcc's config.build file. case $build in alpha*-dec-*vms* | \ i[34567]86-*-cygwin* | i[34567]86-*-pe | \ i[34567]86-*-mingw32* | \ i[34567]86-pc-msdosdjgpp* | \ i[34567]86-*-uwin* | \ ac_executable_extensions=${ac_executable_extensions-'.exe'} ;; esac Paolo _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
