27 # Configure doesn't know how to parse the nm output.
30 # At least on PowerMac, doubles must be aligned on 8 byte boundaries.
31 # I don't know if this is true for all MachTen systems, or how to
32 # determine this automatically.
35 # There appears to be a problem with perl's use of sigsetjmp and
36 # friends. Use setjmp and friends instead.
39 # MachTen always reports ony two links to directories, even if they
40 # contain subdirectories. Consequently, we use this variable to stop
41 # File::Find using the link count to determine whether there are
42 # subdirectories to be searched. This will generate a harmless message:
43 # Hmm...You had some extra variables I don't know about...I'll try to keep 'em.
44 # Propagating recommended variable dont_use_nlink
52 may fail since MachTen does not return a useful nlinks field to stat
55 At the end of Configure, you will see a harmless message
57 Hmm...You had some extra variables I don't know about...I'll try to keep 'em.
58 Propagating recommended variable dont_use_nlink
