The problem was that ld failed to link temacs without any error message, and regenerating the configure script with a slightly different version of Autoconf mysteriously solved the problem, although I see no changes whatsoever except a few insignificant ones in the configure script itself. > if so, we should never use that version of Autoconf to generate the > configure file, and we should report the bug to the Autoconf > developers. I'd like first to understand how come this caused ld to fail.
