MacOS problem with "checking whether strcasestr works in linear time"

[Ian Beckwith]

Hi,

I received a report that the gnulib "checking whether strcasestr works
in linear time" configure test on MacOS hangs for "3 to 4 hours"
before completing. Presumably this means the alarm() call in the test
doesn't work.

The version of gnuit with the problem is at:

http://erislabs.net/ianb/tmp/gnuit-4.9.4-test5.tar.gz

and config.log from the system with the problem is at:

http://erislabs.net/ianb/tmp/config.log

This is with gnulib from 2008-05-27 commit 9c504099

cheers,

Ian.
