1) Due to ongoing development of the autotools, we recommend using the
snapshot placed in the file called 20000619-maintainer-tools.tar.gz

20000619-maintainer-tools.tar.gz
Thanks for the tip.
This tarball contains explicit Cygnus/RedHat references, that are
again going to create confusion.
For example, this tarball contains files named:
CYGNUS
ChangeLog.Cygnus
The former is particularly aggravating; it is essentially an ad for
Cygnus. It is inappropriate to be asking GCC developers to download
these files.
If we really need patches against autoconf, etc., to build V3, then
please get those patches into the current development versions of
those tools. Then, give a CVS date that we can all use to get the
right version of these tools. There's a lot of overlap between
autotools/libtool and GCC developers; I'm sure that Alexandre Oliva or
Tom Tromey would be happy to help out integrating these changes.
In the short term, would someone please volunteer to make a new
version of this tarball, that removes these references, and place it
on gcc.gnu.org in /pub/gcc/infrastructure?
