But in the documentation of AC_RUN_IFELSE, as found at: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Runtime I can't find any mention of files where the stdout/stderr of the test program is saved. And I known in advance that the test program will succeed: what I must verify is that it won't write anything on stdout or stderr. In this respect, AC_RUN_IFELSE does not seem helpful.

Luckily, cross compilation is not an issue here: my package is a simple testsuite for ratfor, and I need the fortran compiler only to build test programs from fortran sources generated by ratfor; this test programs must then be run on the spot, so that a native compiler is needed anyway.
