I encountered two configure problems after upgrading to pl12.
1. The check for 'volatile' does not take the compiler flags into
account. Most notably, "gcc" supports volatile, "gcc -traditional"
does not.
This may also apply to other test-programs.
2. Configure determines a list of libraries to include. This list is
offered as default answer to the question. This will be the
definite answer if Configure is run with '-d' option. The value
read in from config.sh should be used instead.
This problem probably existed before this patch, but nevertheless.

I also encountered the -lPW/fatal() bug. (System: Altos 486/1000 running Altos System V 5.3eT0. Call it System V release 3.1.) ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
