All the tests for compilers (@code{AC_PROG_CC}, @code{AC_PROG_CXX},
@code{AC_PROG_F77}) define the output variable @code{EXEEXT} based on
the output of the compiler, typically to the empty string if
-Posix and @samp{.exe} if a @acronym{DOS} variant. It can be overridden
-by passing the argument @samp{ac_cv_exeext=@var{ext}} to
-@command{configure}.
