In case any Configure maintainers were worrying about this, I couldn't stand not knowing, so I investigated and discovered there was a compiler bug, not a Configure problem, so you can breathe easy. By the time this new compiler gets released, this should be fixed, but its problem was that it called duplicate incompatible prototypes a warning rather than an error, so the protochk script Configure uses reported everything was OK on the first combination it tried. Maybe Configure should accumulate stderr output in a file and pick the combo that produces the smallest amount of output :-).
