OK, this reeks of spurious failure.  Can you post the contents of the
'config.log' corresponding to this configure run?  It should have been
left in the 'intree' subdirectory of the 'depcomp-lt-cpp.dir' test
directory.

The other failures in the 't/depcomp-*.tap' tests look similar, so
if we solve this failure, we are likely going to solve those other
ones as well.

Thanks,
