commit ce48964f646970abd69061590b1b82454780e3e5
Author: Stefano Lattarini <address@hidden>
Date:   Thu Jan 10 15:14:24 2013 +0100

    AC_PROG_CC: also check whether $CC supports "-c -o" together
    
    This is for Automake and its 'subdir-object' mode (see automake bug#13378,
    in particular <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13378#73>), so
    we make the new behavior available only if the special witness macro
    '_AM_PROG_CC_C_O_HELPME' is defined (future Automake versions will define
    it).  We might decide, at a later date, to make this behaviour public;
    but then we'll have to discuss its usefulness and design more in depth,
    and if they are agreed upon, adjust the documentation to match, and also
    decide what to do with the macro AC_PROG_CC_C_O, with its similar (but
    slightly incompatible) semantics; since doing so right now would bring us
    off-track (and Automake needs this change *today*, or better, yesterday),
    we proceed with this simpler hack.
    
    * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Adjust.
