Sorry to harp on about this, but I still can't break it here. No idea why it 
should have failed in HEAD on the snaps box. The file was 100% identical to 
the 5_3 version until you committed your changes, and the 5_3 snaps aren't 
broken. And the point of reported breakage is even weirder - it comes on an 
equivalent line to AC_DEFINE().

Does anyone know the conditions that broke the script in HEAD, e.g. which 
extension/what was missing? Even throwing away the libxml libraries doesn't 
cause an error here.

Thanks,

- Steph

Easiest way to reproduce the runtime error in confutil is to empty the
lib/ dir and leave only resolv's files.

Heh...

Checking for arpa\nameser.h ...  ..\bindlib_w32
Checking for library resolv_a.lib ... <not found>
Checking for library resolv.lib ... <not found>
ERROR: We really need that arpa\nameser.h file - it is part of the bindlib 
package

Actually with that fixed, the thing *still* works for me in HEAD. Sounds 
like a good idea but... doesn't help here.

I'm going to drop this for now and investigate when I've time. But it really 
wasn't a nasty merging accident (unlike the other one), it's just a weird 
and - for me at least - unreproducible error.

It was broken, it works now, problem solved, end of the discussion.
Waiting for your patches if you need something else in HEAD.

Well not really, because HEAD and 5_3 are now different and the fact that we 
don't know *why* it failed in HEAD means we don't know if there's a problem 
in 5_3.

> Waiting for your patches if you need something else in HEAD.

Oh please. I missed ONE line in ONE merge. That is not a reason to play this 
game.
