Because that is not "the state" to which I am refering. We had a
long discussion about this back in March
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-03/msg00814.html
The problem is fragments like
cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF
#define HAVE_FMODF 1
EOF
instead of using
echo "#define HAVE_FMODF 1" >> confdefs.h
The thread discussed solutions, but nothing ever was implemented.
