[bug-inetutils] [PATCH] Use `test -e' instead of `test -r' when testing paths

[Guillem Jover]

From: Samuel Thibault <address@hidden>

While testing paths, ./configure uses test -r to check for those who
are not provided by system headers.  However, this does not work for
root-only files.  On hurd-i386 for instance, /dev/klog is only root
readable, so the test fails, and thus inetutils-syslogd doesn't fill
/dev/kern.log. ./configure should use test -e instead.

* am/config_paths.m4 (IU_CONFIG_PATHS): Set iu_test_type to `e'.
