Re: [RFC PATCH] make libgcj_bc prims symbol sizes correct

Doesn't apply against 4.4-branch, but the fix is trivial (no
@ATOMICSPEC@ in libgcj.spec.in), so I did that.
Unfortunately you touched configure.ac and Makefile.am both, and I hit a
wall trying to convince autoreconf to play along. GCC is famously picky
about the exact versions of the autotools in use, so I installed
automake-1.9.6 and autoconf-2.59 (libtool was fine), which were used to
generate the stuff in libjava/, but then got this:
spindle 564 /usr/src/gcc/gcc/libjava% AUTOCONF=autoconf-2.59 AUTOHEADER=autoheader-2.59 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 autoreconf-2.59 -fiv
autoreconf-2.59: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf-2.59: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf-2.59: running: aclocal --force -I . -I .. -I ../config -I libltdl
libltdl/acinclude.m4:6188: the serial number must appear before any macro definition
../config/override.m4:24: error: m4_copy: won't overwrite defined macro: AC_PREREQ
../config/override.m4:24: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf-2.59: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
(I tried at the top level too: same result.)
I do not claim to be clueless at autoconfery, but this error has me
stumped. What magic invocation do I need to regenerate these things?
This error isn't happening at the macro that's supposed to prevent
regeneration with th ewrong autoconf version, but at the one above it...
