Weird. I wonder why it's hanging on your system. I don't know if
it's a problem with your configuration, with redhat as2.1 in
particular, or with some subset (as yet undetermined) of all gcc 2.96
systems.

This particular test will only ever be true for OS X, as far as I
know, so there's probably a way to detect we're on redhat, and disable
the check then. But I'd rather not add that complexity unless we can
confirm it's more widespread than just your machine.
