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!
