Not needed, it=E2=80=99s already documented as a dirty hack for this corner case: # AC_NO_EXECUTABLES # ----------------- # FIXME: The GCC team has specific needs which the current Autoconf # framework cannot solve elegantly. This macro implements a dirty # hack until Autoconf is able to provide the services its users # need. # # Several of the support libraries that are often built with GCC can't # assume the tool-chain is already capable of linking a program: the # compiler often expects to be able to link with some of such # libraries.
