Subject: AC_PROG_CC: don't check whether $CC supports "-c -o" together
X-Git-Tag: v2.69b~135
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aa5f20ecd0056ba8ddace765c1476a7e5b14f1d4;p=thirdparty%2Fautoconf.git

AC_PROG_CC: don't check whether $CC supports "-c -o" together

This reverts commit ce48964f.  The extra code added by that commit was
planned to be used by future version of Automake, but the implementation
and future directions there have in the meantime be changed in a way
that makes the extra code in Autoconf superfluous.  Just get rid of it.

* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Adjust.
