autoconf-lib-link/m4/lib-ld.m4 port to POSIX 1003.1-2001


From: Paul Eggert
Subject: autoconf-lib-link/m4/lib-ld.m4 port to POSIX 1003.1-2001
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 23:41:37 -0700 (PDT)

autoconf-lib-link/m4/lib-ld.m4 uses egrep, which isn't portable to
POSIX 1003.1-2001 hosts.  This code was originally derived from
libtool, which has been fixed to not use egrep.  Here's an untested
backport of that fix to gettext.

2003-06-17  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * lib-ld.m4 (AC_LIB_PROG_LD_GNU, AC_LIB_PROG_LD): Don't use
        egrep, for portability to POSIX 1003.1-2001.  This patch
        backported from Libtool 1.5.
