In general, I'm happy with the idea.  But let's answer this question first:

> +# Limit stderr logging to avoid copying full manpages.
> +_AC_DO_LIMIT([$ac_compiler --version >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD])
> +_AC_DO_LIMIT([$ac_compiler -v >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD])
> +_AC_DO_LIMIT([$ac_compiler -V >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD])
> +_AC_DO_LIMIT([$ac_compiler -qversion >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD])

Rather than have four consecutive copies of _AC_DO_LIMIT, wouldn't
something more compact like this (untested) snippet work?

for ac_option in --version -v -V -qversion ; do
  _AC_DO_LIMIT([$ac_compiler $ac_option >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD])
done

- --
Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
