Proposed patch

This is caused by cygwin-cat-check. Interestingly, configure.ac does not appear to have this and it does not appear that any of our patches introduce it.

I have attached a patch for the ./configure script that addresses this issue. Also, someone probably should investigate how this was present in the configure script without being present in configure.ac.
Comment 1 Naohiro Aota gentoo-dev 2012-05-27 15:01:15 UTC 
It's in config/acx.m4

configure.ac:
> m4_include(config/acx.m4)

config/acx.m4:
> AC_DEFUN([ACX_CHECK_CYGWIN_CAT_WORKS],[
> AC_MSG_CHECKING([to see if cat works as expected])
> echo a >cygwin-cat-check
> if test `cat cygwin-cat-check` == a ; then
>   rm cygwin-cat-check
>   AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)

2.22 fails to build on Gentoo FreeBSD. We are stuck at 2.20.1 until bug #347931 is fixed.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
