Yeah.  We can't use a newer automake until we can use a newer
autoconf.  And this can't happen yet due to some oddities involving
cross compilation (as I understand it).

At the gcc conference (or so I hear, not having attended) people
agreed to upgrade to the new auto*.  And there's some discussion of
this taking place on the gcc list.  So this should happen in the
not-too-distant future.

Nope.

Send a patch.  The web pages are under-maintained :-(
