Do we know that file descriptor 5 will always be sent to config.log?
That's not documented anywhere, so I don't know that we can count on
it.  I think what really need here is a documented macro supplied by
autoconf that allows us to use the appropriate file descriptor, no
matter what it is.

I'll throw together a patch for this and mail it to the list when I
have a chance.
