Reimplementing AC_CHECK_DECL may be easier than trying to use it, as Noah already indicated. Especially, I think if you need to work around the output, then it seems likely that you will also need to work around caching as well: if you check for the same symbol more than once, with different code snippets then it will skew your results. (Which begs the question whether your identical double checking of timeradd in the macro you posted was intentional.) > In the end, I've done: > pushdef([AS_MESSAGE_FD], [/dev/null]) > popdef([AS_MESSAGE_FD]) First, be encouraged to use m4_pushdef rather than pushdef, etc. But also this ends up generating code like echo "$message" >&/dev/null which is not portable: $ ksh -c 'echo >&/dev/null' ksh: >&/dev/null : illegal file descriptor name Hope that helps.
