Hello all!
Please consider the following lines in Configure script (from 1.0.0e):
1804 (system $make_command.$make_targets) == 0 or exit $?
1805 if $make_targets ne "";
AFAIU intent was to return from Configure whatever error 'make' returned
when the it failed.
But in fact this doesn't work (checked on Linux and Solaris):
$ perl -e '(system "false") == 0 or exit $?'
$ echo $?
0
To return exit code of the 'make' $? should be shifted right by 8 bits.
But this will return 0 if 'make' crashed for some reason.
So I think the best solution is simply exit with return code 1 (or call
'die').
Bye!
