You might have to. :-) First, check "config.log" to see the ./configure
output in more detail, and search for vprintf(). It will most likely
list the compiler error generated during the test.

Looking at configure, it's actually trying to compile this combined
piece of code:

#include "confdefs.h"
#include <assert.h>
int main() {
  #if defined (__stub_vprintf) || defined (__stub___vprintf)
    choke me
  #else
    vprintf();
  #endif
; return 0; }

So, try saving that snippet to 'test.c' and compiling it with a line
like:
  gcc -o test test.c

-te
