Subject: Modified configuration script to actually verify if the compiler is good
X-Git-Tag: upstream/1.10.0~814
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8dc7f22b9a3a3266d7a0d2c59b17647b57bd95b0;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fc-ares.git

Modified configuration script to actually verify if the compiler is good
enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.
