Description 

in CVS (20030207

in configure the line

rm -f core core.* *.core conftest$ac_exeext conftest.$ac_objext conftest.$ac_ext
is trashing the "core" subdirectory

rebuilding with autoconf (2.52) re adds the line

perhaps it should be renamed central or lib or ...

in unix core is frequently used to identify core dumps.

Carl,

Is this line invoked everytime you run configure, or only if you hit control-C
while it is running?

comment:2 by candrsn@…, 21 years ago 

actually the provided configure works ok here (see HAVE_DLFCN bug)

if I run autoconf then run ./configure, "core" is gone

a salient portion of config.log
after autoconf it is looking for conftest.sh in core,
doesn't find it and then the trap takes over ....

Core was renamed gcore for the 1.1.9 release.  I think this problem is now
resolved.
