Summary: Configure script error - CC or CPP
Initial Comment:
expat-1.95.7
My check install is in a none standard location.
I set the CFLAGS enviroment variable so the file could
be found. You then get a configure warning:
configure: WARNING: check.h: accepted by the
compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: check.h: proceeding with the
preprocessor's result
This seems to be due to the preprocessor check using
CPP and the CPPFLAGS while the compiler check uses
CC and CFLAGS.

Expat 1.95.9 will no longer use the check library; I'm
closing this as out-of-date.

This patch seems to fix the problem. (I found no way to
attach it...)
Can it be installed in CVS?
