# gl_ABSOLUTE_HEADER(HEADER1 HEADER2 ...)
# ---------------------------------------
# Find the absolute name of a header file, testing first if the header exists.
# If the header were sys/inttypes.h, this macro would define
# ABSOLUTE_SYS_INTTYPES_H to the '""' quoted absolute name of sys/inttypes.h
# in config.h
# (e.g. '#define ABSOLUTE_SYS_INTTYPES_H "///usr/include/sys/inttypes.h"').
# The three "///" are to pacify Sun C 5.8, which otherwise would say
# "warning: #include of /usr/include/... may be non-portable".
# Use '""', not '<>', so that the /// cannot be confused with a C99 comment.
# Note: This macro assumes that the header file is not empty after
# preprocessing, i.e. it does not only define preprocessor macros but also
# provides some type/enum definitions or function/variable declarations.

  dnl AIX "xlc -E" and "cc -E" omit #line directives for header files
  dnl that contain only a #include of other header files and no
  dnl non-comment tokens of their own. This leads to a failure to
  dnl detect the absolute name of <dirent.h>, <signal.h>, <poll.h>
  dnl and others. The workaround is to force preservation of comments
  dnl through option -C. This ensures all necessary #line directives
  dnl are present. GCC supports option -C as well.
