I'm not an expert on Autoconf (or however that tool is called that generates the
../config script), but I'd expect there to be some way to have it try and compile
a simple "hello world" program (or whatever), and if that fails, abort with a
message suggesting to the user to check his compiler setup.

Instead, the script right away starts to test for specific compiler features, by
trying to compile some small programs and checking whether that succeeds / fails
as expected - and gets nonsense answers because the "probe" used in the tests is
broken.
