build log for vile-9.8x-1.fc38 with the instrumented compiler

I started fixing the configure script but encountered quite a few issues. I don't have the autoconf version that upstream (hello 8-) uses around, which makes it difficult to patch in certain things, like a new check for <sys/wait.h>/HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H. (The new #include <sys/wait.h> should be conditional on HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H for maximum portability.)

I would appreciate if a newer version of autoconf could be used to generate the configure script. It has logging of failing tests, which makes it easier to identify problematic tests.
