83 dnl I have not implemented the following suggestion because I don't have
84 dnl access to such a broken environment to test the macro. So I'm just
85 dnl appending the comments here in case you have, and want to fix
86 dnl AX_FUNC_MKDIR that way.
88 dnl |Thomas E. Dickey (dickey@herndon4.his.com) said:
89 dnl | it doesn't cover the problem areas (compilers that mistreat mkdir
90 dnl | may prototype it in dir.h and dirent.h, for instance).
93 dnl | Would it be sufficient to check for these headers and #include
94 dnl | them in the AC_TRY_COMPILE block? (and is AC_HEADER_DIRENT
95 dnl | suitable for this?)
98 dnl | I think that might be a good starting point (with the set of recommended
99 dnl | ifdef's and includes for AC_HEADER_DIRENT, of course).
