I get this output on Cygwin with this patch applied (with msvc compiler
wrapper):

[...]
checking for executable suffix... checking whether for C compiler default 
output... conftest
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
.exe
checking for object suffix... obj
[...]

One AC_MSG_CHECKING needs to be moved in other words.

I also get something strange at the top:

$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp
./configure --prefix=/tmp; conftest.sh: not found
checking [...]

BTW, I would just like to mention for the record that I think it is too
bad the dot isn't included in the objext var like it is for exeext, but
that's way too late to change now :-|  One could however tweak the
AC_MSG_RESULT output for visual consistency, but that might be confusing
since the output would be inconsistent with the variable value, so I
propose no change...
