Mastodon Linux INST0064-dr2 (libc 4.8.0) on ia32
>Description:
If you have the misfortune of being on a Linux box,
config.if does various checks to see what version of
gl*bc is on that box and if it can't find out which
version, it fails with an exit 1. Mastodon Linux
uses libc 4.8.0, which does not do the magic config.if
expects -- config.if should return a `this is an unknown
library' token instead of dying.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run configure on a Mastodon INST0050->INST0064 system.
>Fix:
In config.if, change the code that says:
# It should never happen.
echo "Cannot find the GNU C library minor version number." >&2
rm -f $dummy.c $dummy
exit 1
