No, I'd forgotten all about that. I also can't see a reply, so I guess=20
we dropped the ball on that one :(

It was half the problem, but I don't believe it was a complete solution=20
because the test really was designed to run if syscall had _not_ been=20
detected by configure. However, I think the test was based on a=20
mistaken/outdated assumption about how the standard configure test works,=
=20
which failed on that platform.

My change is bigger than the one you proposed and I believe that it fixes=
=20
the problem properly, although I'd appreciate your help testing it.

Cheers, Chris.
