Thanks. I've now also added some more informational messages.
Two smaller things:
- After 5f25857f619f87c59e8e888fde5e66280a185123 dependency tracking
doesn't seem to work correctly any more on my macOS system (i.e.
mod-test.so isn't rebuilt if the module source has changed). `make' is GNU
Make 3.81; maybe there was a bug that has been fixed in the meantime? If
so, should we check for this in configure?
- Regarding the core dumps, it would probably better to use `ulimit -c 0'
to prevent them during tests where aborts are expected. Not sure how to do
that portably though.
