Comment (by egall@…):
I don't think any of these macros can actually fail, so I don't see why
they'd need fallback code. They're just for adding more information about
the user's system to their `config.log` and to their `config.h` (which I
guess MacPorts doesn't use, but it could do so easily...). Also it looks
like a lot of the macros currently in `configure.ac` were originally added
with an older version of `autoscan`, this would be just updating those to
a more recent version. Anyway I'm planning on editing a table into this
post showing more about these macros:
||= Macro =||= contents of line `autoscan` is referring to when it says a
file wants this macro =||= context (how the line is used) =||= human
explanation for how adding the macro will be useful =||
||= `AC_CHECK_FUNCS([dup2])` =||= =||= =||= =||
(coming back to this later...)
