If I knew more about autoconf... If there's anything I can help with, I
certainly would. The sooner GCC uses a more recent autoconf, the
better.
Old autoconfs are a problem for the G95 project. For g95 we're using a
patched autoconf 2.5x because unpatched autoconf think that f90 files
can be compiled with g77, which is kind of inconvenient if you're trying
to develop a Fortran 95 compiler :-)
