+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_CC_ATTRCOMMON
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Determine whether the C compiler supports C tentative defintions
+# with __attribute((__common__))
+# See K&R book Appendix A10.2 on 'extern' and tentative definitions.
+# Some compilers use a 'strict definition-reference model'
+# Traditionally most UNIX C compilers support C tentative definitions.
+# GCC 10 switched from default fcommon to fnocommon
+# and will need __attribute__ ((__common__)) for tentative definitions.
+#
+# The $ac_cv_attrcommon variable will be either yes or no,
+# and can be overridden on the command line with using --with-attrcommon
+#
+# See also: ax_cc_tentdef.m4 for a test on C tentative definitions
