Re: (Off-Topic) Autoconf

   Have you look at any of the "macro is defined" checks recently?
   They are performed by building a small test file and attempting to
   compile it on the target platform.

They aren't compiled, it only handled by the C preprocessor (in the
case of C macros).

   Please explain how to do that in a C program?

sizeof?

   It's getting better, but it's not there yet. Some of the ways in
   which it is getting better are highly linux-centric. The GCC cross
   build is *much* less friendly for non-UNIX targets than it used to
   be.

It doesn't have to be friendly to non-UNIX targets.  GCC is the GNU
projects compiler, not the UNIX compiler.

   Nonsense.

Lets agree to disagree.
