#2531 -inet and -ieee configure incorrectly on AIX

[Sean Morrison]

After performing a configure, the build attempts to link
against inet and ieee regardless of the failure to find "main"
in those libraries:

checking for main in -lieee... no
checking for main in -linet... no

As the AIX 5.1 system does not have autoconf installed, I
could not regenerate a different configure script. I did,
however, locate the offending sections in the configure script
and was able to get everything to build and link properly by
simply commenting out the line where -linet is appended and
by modifing the line that appends -lieee to append -lm
instead.

This was necessary for both the tcl and tk unix/configure
scripts that were included in 8.4.4, as well as in 8.4.2.

Cheers!
Sean

The only place that dealt with this in the configure scripts
seemed to be
in tcl.m4.

AC_CHECK_LIB(ieee, main, [MATH_LIBS="-lieee $MATH_LIBS"])
AC_CHECK_LIB(inet, main, [LIBS="$LIBS -linet"])

It seems like you are saying these macros are linking in -linet
even though it was not found. I am not sure how that could be.
Could you try to build Tcl from the current CVS sources and
attach the output of config.log if there is a problem?

this doesn't effect actual functionality, so it's not an issue.
