All it needs is Somebody to write and test and document the patch. That will not work well in many cases. /tmp often doesn't stick around, nor is there any standard safe system-wide place anything could write to. How do you handle containers where the software is preinstalled and provided on readonly mounts and with new blank /tmp? This approach is also nasty to package. The whole approach is a weird kludge. I do grant you points for being clever, but isn't there a better way? --- David A.Wheeler _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
