Akim might, but I doubt it - it would be yet another (small) test that slows down autoconf, and for little gain. Plus, if the two tests disagree, which do you trust? > I could think about other possibilities to have the cake and eat it, > too, provided that the Autoconf maintainers are ready to listen.

I think that moving up the loading of config.site and using CONFIG_SHELL is probably a better option; I'll try to get that done. > > That is why I suggested bash be changed to always look in > > $DJDIR/bin for those lookups (as that directory is our equivalent of > > /bin, /usr/bin, etc.). > > That would break if $DJGPP is not set. No more than it does now (since I would have bash append $DJDIR/bin to PATH, lookups will be identical, except that if DJDIR is set, it may get found there where otherwise it would fail). Plus, bash could fall back to its own location if DJDIR isn't set. I must say I don't see how any of this breaks bash - in fact, it would eliminate one breakage.
