Re: AC_PROG_LD manual?

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   I have a configure.ac here which uses AC_PROG_LD, but I don't know
   about the purpose of this macro. Unfortunately I do not find and any
   doc about it.

AC_PROG_LD is a old macro from libtool (though more aptly named), you
should use LT_PATH_LD instead.

(libtool) Autoconf macros:
 -- Macro: LT_PATH_LD
     Add a `--with-gnu-ld' option to `configure'.  Try to find the path
     to the linker used by `$CC', and whether it is the GNU linker.
     The result is stored in the shell variable `$LD', which is
     `AC_SUBST'ed.
