If your program does not build out of the box on a major supported
computer, you will get buried in hate mail. GNU programs have been
building out of the box on Sun worstations at least since SunOS 4.0.3.
If you refuse to work around whatever system bug this is, then you
should fix the configure script to set whatever setting it is that
will work around the problem. You cannot expect the user to do it.
Also I still don't know what "paragraph" you are talking about.
Are you referring to some instruction manual?
I don't read the instructions!
