How many times you can ask the same question?! autoconf is broken, and
I see no reason to support broken packages under OS/2.  However, when
I was doing ReadLine2.1, I finally lost my temper, got this: (note
that if you have perl before 3_90, you need different startup line).

In fact I did not try it with CC="gcc -Zexe", if it does not work,
uncomment GCCOPT line and put CC=gcc - and report the failure to me.

Enjoy,
Ilya
