On Haiku, I'm seeing this configure output:
...
checking for posix_spawn... yes
checking whether posix_spawn works... cmp: EOF on conftest.ok
no
checking for ptrdiff_t... yes
...
This patch should avoid the spurious message. 'cmp' is required by POSIX to
emit a diagnostics to stderr, even when nothing is wrong with the two argument
files: <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/cmp.html>.
Yuck.
