  Get the user to re-run the configure command with the -v flag for
verbose output, then check in the config.log output file to see how
the test is performed and why it is coming up positive.  I don't remember
off the top of my head for sure, but I *think* it might simply try and
compile and run a simple program, and assume that if gcc succeeds in
making an output exe but it doesn't work that must be because it's for
a different target, so if the execution fails for some other reason (perms?
disk space?) that might lead to a false positive of this sort.
