No that's wrong. Could you restore it as it was and post the section of
the config.log file from "checking for Linux CFLAGS" onwards? That
would show where the error occurred. It looks like the make command run
by that test failed before it created the ${tmpdir}/flags file.
The test is trying to build a dummy module in the ${tmpdir} directory,
and create the ${tmpdir}/flags file as a side effect. The following ".
${tmpdir}/flags" command is trying to source the contents of created
${tmpdir}/flags file into the current shell. The "." command is failing
because ${tmpdir}/flags file doesn't exist, because the preceding make
command failed to create it for some reason.
