Yikes. Is this the expected behavour? Does anyone else see this?

checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O -mieee # optimization -O2

cannot create executables.

Yup, I see exactly the same thing when I add a # comment to CFLAGS in
my template file. I think it is only safe to put # comments on their
own lines in template files. A quick grep shows that linux_alpha is
the only template that violates that rule.

Hmm. That is strange. I thought the Makefile would honor the # and not
pass it through.

gmake might, but autoconf is a different story...
