configure breakage under Interix

[Sam Johnston]

Evening all,

I'm having some trouble getting coreutils running under Interix
(Microsoft's POSIX subsystem aka Services for Unix which is to be
included in Windows 2003 Server R2, Vista, etc.). First I tell it
about the new release (5.2 instead of 3.x or 4.x):

coreutils-5.93/build-aux$ diff config.guess.orig config.guess
782c782
<     x86:Interix*:[34]*)
---
>     x86:Interix*:[345]*)

Then I tell it to continue even if it can't work out what file systems
are mounted:

coreutils-5.93$ diff configure.orig configure
31364c31364,31365
<    { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
---
> #   { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
> }

Finally I do a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/coreutils-5.93 and I
get a 'Memory fault (core dumped)' for each Makefile ala:

<snip>
config.status: creating tests/unexpand/Makefile
Memory fault (core dumped)
config.status: creating tests/uniq/Makefile
Memory fault (core dumped)
config.status: creating tests/wc/Makefile
Memory fault (core dumped)
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing default-1 commands
config.status: creating po/POTFILES
config.status: creating po/Makefile

I've compressed and attached the config.log as I figure it is likely
to be of interest - hopefully it won't prevent delivery.

Any suggestions?
