`./configure` on WSL Ubuntu 24.04 kernel v6.6 fails despite having `unionfs-fuse`

[Forthoney]

Trying to build try from the repository fails on WSL at the ./configure step because the WSL kernel does not ship with the overlayfs module. I am instead running try by installation method 1, which is just using the raw try script. This works as intended because I do have unionfs installed.

I am using a non-default WSL linux kernel from WSL2-Linux-Kernel that I compiled myself, which means I am on kernel version 6.6 instead of the default 5.11 that WSL ships with.

Can you please give the output of ./configure and ./configure.log?

I do not think try will work without overlayfs somewhere, even if you have unionfs.
