I am trying to update the port of kaffe for machten 4.1.1 to the 
1.0b4 release.  having some problems with the configure script.

1. size of short, int, long, long long.. all come up as 0

2. when it checks for ld it can not find it despite fact that machten 
uses gnu ld.  path is
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-machten4/2.8.1/ld

if i force path to be /usr/bin (which is a softlink to above path) all is well.


well lets start with this.  i can kludge configure to make these come 
out right but would like to knwo the right way to do them.

thanks jim
At a recent computer software engineering course in the US, the participants
were given an awkward question to answer.  "If you had just boarded an
airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible
for the flight control software, how many of you would disembark
immediately?"
