Subject:	Re: Shell's "eval" doesn't behave when running a non-cygwin compiler
References:	<3AB14F6C DOT E15E2D61 AT dot21rts DOT com> <m3wv9qo9bs DOT fsf AT master DOT athome>

The (eval echo \"$ac_link\") just displays the compiler command that
will subsequently be executed by (eval $ac_link).  This line of shell
code was taken from a 'configure' script created by autoconf.
