I fixed the above problem and the POSIX check now works fine:

> >      grep fnmatch log1

    checking for fnmatch.h... yes
    checking for fnmatch... yes
    checking for working POSIX fnmatch... yes

I also extraced the fnmatch configure testcase and ran it manually.
It returns 0 now.  But:

> >      grep REPLACE_FNMATCH config.status

    S["REPLACE_FNMATCH"]="1"

Looks like the reason is that we don't have a uchar.h file?  Seems 
like this is of interest for AIX, but why should this be of
interest for fnmatch on other systems?


Thanks,
Corinna
