Hello Jerry and others,

The Magick-config program is a shell-script, I just deleted the -march... 
and -mcpu... flags from it since they don't work with the RH5.2 supplied 
GCC compiler. Now with the modification of acinclude.m4 (replace "==" by a 
single "=") it works on my system again!

Alternatively acinclude.m4 can use `Magick-config --cflags | sed 's/-m[^ 
]*//g'` to strip off the offending '-mxxxx' flags, but this is not 100% 
"correct" of course (but it works!).

My proposal is to keep the current improved detection in acinclude.m4 and 
only fix the "==" issue.

Kind regards,

Henk.
