Hmmmmm, when I do this it seems to think that the compiler cannot 
create executables for some reason.  "checking for C compiler default 
output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

I'm not familiar enough with the internal workings of Swarm--or exactly 
what autogen does other than configure the configure script--to really 
judge this one, but it doesn't sound like a bad idea.

As near as I can tell the only "right" way to fix it would be to fix 
the definition in runtime.h, because it is only doing what it was told 
to do:

Starting at line 78 in runtime.h:

#ifdef DEBUG
#define DEBUG_PRINTF(format, args...) printf (format, ## args)
#else
#define DEBUG_PRINTF(format, args...)
#endif

I replaced the code with this:

#ifdef DEBUG
#define DEBUG_PRINTF(format, args...) printf (format, ## args)
#define DEBUG_PRINTF(format) printf(format)
#else
#define DEBUG_PRINTF(format, args...)
#define DEBUG_PRINTF(format)
#endif

No clue on this one, I'll play with it for a bit and see if anything 
falls out.  My guess is that (arg 5) is some kind of obscure error code.

Sincerely,
David
