DJGPP bash 2.04 has a bug in that `return $ac_retval' done in a
shell function which also contains a command substitution causes
the shell to barf. For more details and a fix see:
<http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp-workers/2009/09/09/03:35:08>
Possible workaround include putting the `return' in a subshell
or calling another function to set the status.

(_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE_BODY, _AC_LINK_IFELSE_BODY)

instead of `return'.

The DJGPP compiler may create both `a.out' and `a.exe' without -o,

`conftest' without $ac_exeext suffix.

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SITE_LOAD, AC_CACHE_LOAD): Do not
load the cache or site file if it is `/dev/null', as DJGPP treats
it as a regular file, but the shell then warns about it later.
Fixes several test suite failures on DJGPP.
