+ Revert these two patches:
+
+ 2006-04-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
+ * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Inside cache
+ check, s/ac_exeext/ac_cv_exeext/. Fixes regression introduced
+ 2006-04-01.
+
+ 2006-04-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
+ Clean up _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT* macros.
+ * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Don't try to
+ detect exeext, it will be done by _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O; just set
+ ac_file to the name of the default output file and call
+ _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_WORKS. Move the definition of ac_files and the
+ initial `rm' of the candidate files...
+ (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): ... here and simplify them. Moreover, use
+ the same list in subsequent `rm' calls, and for the temporary
+ redefinition of ac_clean_files; call _AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT at the end,
+ and don't call the other _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_* macros directly, use...
+ (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_TESTS): ... this new macro.
+ (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Don't export ac_cv_exeext, it's not needed (or
+ no longer needed) by libtool. Make it a cache check.
+ (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_CROSS): Remove the comment, it was obviously
+ copied here by mistake.
+ (AC_NO_EXECUTABLES): Redefine _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_TESTS, not
+ _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT.
+ * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_OBJC): Do not call
+ _AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT directly.
+ * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise.
