I'll add a more specific example; with configure.ac containing
        AC_INIT
        AC_C_INLINE
        exit
the resulting configure, when run against a compiler where `inline'
doesn't work, creates config.log which ends:

## ----------- ##
## confdefs.h. ##
## ----------- ##
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
#define PACKAGE_NAME ""
#define PACKAGE_STRING ""
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
#define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
#define inline __inline__
#endif
#ifndef __cplusplus

configure: exit 0

Isn't this a case where configure tries to be too smart?  Shouldn't
the sorting be removed?  A proposed patch attached (post 2.60, of course).
