 When I run ./configure --prefix=/xapian-path XAPIAN_CONFIG=/xapian-
 path/bin/xapian-config  under xapian-omega-1.2.21 dir, there is no error
 message output, but Makefile could not be generated

 part of output at last:

 {{{
 checking for mkdtemp... yes
 checking for mmap... yes
 checking for fork... yes
 checking for setrlimit... yes
 checking for sysmp... no
 checking for pstat_getdynamic... no
 checking for library containing socketpair... none required

 }}}

 After this message output, no Makefile generated.

Comment:

 Thanks for your report (and for config.log).

 The problem appears to be that we're trying to return from a shell
 function with `exit`.  I guess there's a difference between
 implementations of `/bin/sh` and on some shells that returns from the
 function, while others it exits the script.  The autoconf manual says to
 use `AS_SET_STATUS()` for portability.

 Needs fixing in git master first, then backporting.
