+ * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Check for setrlimit and getrlimit.
+ * configure: Regenerate.
+ * config.in: Regenerate.
+ * utils.c: Include sys/resource.h.
+ (dump_core, can_dump_core): New.
+ (internal_vproblem): Update the comment. Check can_dump_core while
+ setting dump_core_p. Replace two abort calls by dump_core calls.
