Patch: make hints files warn about db-recno failures
Herewith some minor Configure and hints patches against 5.003_19:
1. Amend Configure so that MachTen's antediluvian test, which holds that
-1 is not an integer, does not bleat during non-blocking IO tests. (Tom
Christiansen posted a while back about several instances of this sort of
thing; this patch addresses the only one I can see. Are there
still others?)
2. Make hints files for A/UX, FreeBSD, and MachTen give notification
of the db-recno test failures caused by these systems' old db
libraries. This patch due mainly to Roderick Schertler, who implemented
a suggestion I made. I hope it's OK to put a shared stub in hints/. It
has the .shx extension so that it doesn't show up in Configure's list of
systems for which there are hints. It may be that the hints for some
version of IRIX need the same tweak, but I couldn't work out which one
from Martijn Koster's recent posting, and so left well enough alone.
