           Summary: AC_LINK_ELSEIF fails on Windows
           Product: RTEMS
           Version: 4.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: RTEMS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: build
        AssignedTo: ralf.corsepius at rtems.org

The latest RTEMS release with autoconf-2.61 fails to build on Windows using
MSYS and MinGW. The AC_LINK_ELSEIF test has added an extra test for the execute
bit:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/autoconf/lib/autoconf/general.m4?root=autoconf&r1=1.931&r2=1.932

between 2.60 and 2.61. The execute bit is not handled in the same way on
Windows as Unix. The bit can be set by making the output of the linker have a
.exe file extension. The AC_LINK_ELSEIF handles this via the $ac_exeext shall
variable. It is not set on the Windows platform.

Should be set for for Window ?
