Hi, 

I can't see anything that looks like an error earlier up in the output file.
I do see this. The thing is I don't know where to look. Is there a string I
should be searching for? I have done searches on conftest.c and many others.
I don't see any indication of a target directory where it tries to write to
and then fails. Or anything else weird for that matter. Any help suggesting
what I should be looking for in the top section of the output would be
appreciated. I know that this isn't a permissions problem because I would
have seen the permission denied error if I was not able to write out a file
in the output log created with sh -x. 

Take care, 

Jon

The problem must occur earlier, before compilation, because conftest.c was
not created.  At least, that's what I'd assume, since "cat" can't find it.
