That's the plan, that's why I need to know what shall be tested.
But our troubles could be worse than this, since `expr' is not used
only in AS_DIRNAME. For instance any CVS configure contains
ac_optarg=`expr "x$ac_option" : 'x[^=]*=\(.*\)'`
in its parsing the options.
So it is my understanding that
./configure --bindir=
is equivalent to
./configure --bindir=0
on these systems.
Such a good news...
