True, that would be a problem. I wouldn't have mentioned the idea of
zapping AM_PROG_CC_STDC except for the fact that I couldn't figure out
if/how it would ever be used.
It seems to me like the various Makefiles associated with gdb use CC,
but I couldn't find the mechanism by which CC was assigned the result
of AM_PROG_CC_STDC. But apparently by some magic it does happen.
This in turn begs the question -- if we rename AM_PROG_CC_STDC to
GDB_PROG_CC_STDC will the value computed by GDB_PROG_CC_STDC still
be used to initialize CC in the generated Makefile?
I can try some experiments, but it would really be better if someone
who understands autoconf/automake better could give me some insight
into what unintended consequences we might have due to the name change.
