Thanks. Your change good to me, so I installed it. I documented it a
bit differently though. Here's what I installed; this patch also
handles an unrelated doc issue with test -L.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Document test -h
versus test -L issues.

Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Don't warn
about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
any warning.
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document this.
