The configure script in finger 1.37 doesn't work properly on Interactive
Unix 2.2.1, because the Autoconf checks for Unix variants depend on the
right value for $(CC) already being set.  Following is a patch.

Also, the check for const and other features which use AC_COMPILE_CHECK
do not work properly, because finger's configure.in does an explicit
check for -lc ... but -lc defines `exit', and so does -lgcc (in GCC 2),
and so ld complains about a multiply defined symbol.

I'm not sure what the right fix is -- configure.in could be changed
to only do those library checks on svr4 (according to the comment); or
it could be changed to not check for -lc if gcc 2 is being used (that
would require changing Autoconf).  Neither of those sound too appealing.


	* configure.in: Do program checks (to get CC) before variant checks.
