• obsoleted Use AX_CFLAGS_STRICT_PROTOTYPES.

Try to find a compiler option that warns when a function prototype is not fully defined. Enable it only if the the system headers are reasonably clean with respect to compiling with strict-prototypes.

The sanity check is done by looking at sys/signal.h which has a set of macro-definitions SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN that are cast to the local signal-handler type. If that signal-handler type is not fully qualified then the system headers are not seen as strictly prototype clean.

Currently this macro knows about GCC. hopefully will evolve to use: Solaris C compiler, Digital Unix C compiler, C for AIX Compiler, HP-UX C compiler, and IRIX C compiler.
