I encountered two configure problems after upgrading to pl12.

 1. The check for 'volatile' does not take the compiler flags into
    account. Most notably, "gcc" supports volatile, "gcc -traditional"
    does not.
    This may also apply to other test-programs.

 2. Configure determines a list of libraries to include. This list is
    offered as default answer to the question. This will be the
    definite answer if Configure is run with '-d' option. The value
    read in from config.sh should be used instead.
    This problem probably existed before this patch, but nevertheless.
