Re: test for CXXLD

[Robert Boehne]

Since the syntax you're using will only support one compiler anyway,
you might consider creating a shell script to do the actual configure run.

it might look something like this:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/path/ferinst  --other-arguments LDFLAGS='-Xlinker 
"-languae charm++"'

Since it's not going to be portable you may as well skip the AM_ 
variables and go this route.
