The problem was that ld failed to link temacs without any error
message, and regenerating the configure script with a slightly
different version of Autoconf mysteriously solved the problem,
although I see no changes whatsoever except a few insignificant ones
in the configure script itself.

I'd like first to understand how come this caused ld to fail.
