FW: [PATCH] Crosscompiling configure fix

[Peter Foley]

I've submitted a fix for a problem I came across while trying to build a Linux-hosted Cygwin cross compiler. Autoconf fails in the cygwin and cygserver directories because the bootstrap compiler cannot link. This patch works around this by defining GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES, which causes autoconf to skip tests that involve linking.

Note: I submitted a previous patch that included this change, however only part of that patch was applied (the removal of AC_ALLOCA) so I am resubmitting the GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES part of the patch.

Thanks,

Peter Foley
