137 2001-09-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
138
139 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with
140 CFLAGS=-O4 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a
141 relaxed view of fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to
142 include libraries even when they don't exist.
143
144 * acheaders.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not
145 AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
146 need it.
147
148 * acspecific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
149 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
150 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use
151 -lcposix if we don't need it.
