>Description:
building devel/t1lib (t1lib-0.9.2). make hangs during autoconfigure, at
checking for external symbols requiring underscores. Last few lines of 
config log are:

configure:2768: checking size of void *
configure:2787: cc -o conftest -O -pipe   conftest.c  1>&5
configure:2812: checking for gcc strength-reduce bug
configure:2831: cc -o conftest -O -pipe   conftest.c  1>&5
configure:2854: checking whether external symbols need an underscore prefix
configure:2873: cc -o conftest -O -pipe   conftest.c conftest_asm.s  1>&5

By sprinkling a few echo's it appears to be stopping dead at the "if"
statement in configure indicated below.  I can't see anything wrong 
with it, though.

echo $ac_n "checking "whether external symbols need an underscore prefix"""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:2854: checking "whether external symbols need an underscore prefix"" >&5
if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_c_extern_prefix'+set}'`\" = set"; then
  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6
else
  saved_libs=$LIBS
LIBS="conftest_asm.s $LIBS"
cat > conftest_asm.s <<EOF
	.globl _ac_test
_ac_test:
	.long 0
EOF
cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF
#line 2866 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
extern int ac_test;
int main() {
if (ac_test) return 1
; return 0; }
EOF           ***************  this if \/ stops, probably here \/
if { (eval echo configure:2873: \"$ac_link\") 1>&5; (eval $ac_link) 2>&5; } && test -s conftest${ac_exeext}; then
  rm -rf conftest*         ******** never gets here...
  ac_cv_c_extern_prefix="yes"
else
  echo "configure: failed program was:" 1>&5   ******** ... or here 
  cat conftest.$ac_ext 1>&5
  rm -rf conftest*
  ac_cv_c_extern_prefix="no"
fi
rm -f conftest*
LIBS=$saved_libs
fi

echo "$ac_t""$ac_cv_c_extern_prefix" 1>&6
if test "$ac_cv_c_extern_prefix" = "yes"
then
  cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF
#define NEED_UNDERSCORE_PREFIX 1
EOF

fi
>How-To-Repeat:
            cd /usr/ports/devel/t1lib ; make

>Fix:
      I can't see any.  Been trying to get past this for
the better part of the day.  Shell bug?  Compiler bug?
Anyway, this library is needed for a few other ports, notably
xpdf.
