Problem is:

configure:13407: /lib/cpp  conftest.cpp
./configure: line 2321: /lib/cpp: No such file or directory

Autotools (or parts of it) expect /lib/cpp to be a symbolic link to the
C preprocessor. However, certain distributions (I think Archlinux) are
no longer installing this symbolic link.

I'm not sure what is to blame here: the distro not creating
the /lib/cpp symbolic link, or the autotools using this symbolic link?
