special tool versions to build egcs

[Nathan Sidwell]

Hi,
egcs uses a number of special versions of tools in order to build -- one
example I found today is gperf, the latest I can find is 2.7, but egcs
has used 2.7.1. I gather from this list that autoconf is another one.

The FAQ ( http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#generated_files ) mentions the
need of extra tools, but doesn't say anything about these magic
versions.

I can't determine which of these tools are needed and where they are
under egcs cvs control. It'd help if the FAQ told me this!

I've fixed the gperf problem by touching the generated file, which for
some reason was older than its source.
