Hello,

 As of 7.10.7 there is a problem when cross-compiling curl. The writable
argv test does not use a cache variable and therefore its result cannot be
overridden and the default used might not be satisfactory.

 Here is an obvious fix.

2003-11-15 Maciej W. Rozycki <macro_at_ds2.pg.gda.pl>

        * configure.ac: Use a cache variable for the writable argv test to
        aid cross-compilation.

 I've successfully tested it doing a build for the mipsel-linux host using
an i386-linux build system. Please apply.

  Maciej
