[svn-r10112] Purpose:
Bug fix

Description:
A test in configure.in redirected output in a way that made
mir (at least) unhappy (test: too many arguments).

Solution:
Changed the semantics so that mir was happy.  This didn't seem to make any
other platforms unhappy, either.

Platforms tested:
eirene, modi4, copper, mir, sleipnir (only tested configure)
