Any person using autoconf is some of a hero. ;-)

There is an answer here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2011-01/msg00248.html

The bottom line is:
GCC versions the generated files, so require exactly one autoconf.
And I suppose it just hasn't been updated to require the latest one.


> New patch attached ...
Tobias doesn't seem to argue (too much) against it, so OK.

Attached is what I get with autoconf-2.64/automake-1.11.1


Thanks
Mikael
