I'll give it a shot, in the morning. Right now I'm trying to get
autoconf to pass its tests again. Here's the deal:
Per the earlier discussion about autoconf-2.13/2.52, I was attempting to
do a side-by-side installation of the two, and decided to run the
checks. (eventaully to write a script that parses configure.in for the
AC_REQ[] line to determine which one to call, etc).
2.13 had "226 expected passes, 33 unexpected failures". (On both
cygwin-20011001, and cygwin-1.3.3-2). This is the same as our previous
experiments, if you remember those.
2.52 was failing all over the place with cygwin-20011001. (With 1.3.2,
we had finally gotten autoconf to pass all tests). I'm currently
running the tests again with 1.3.3-2, to make sure the 'breakage'
occurred during the 1.3.4 development cycle and not before. So far I'm
passing all tests with 1.3.3-2 (but this'll take several more hours to
complete on my machine).
All tests performed on W2Ksp2, CYGWIN=ntsec, and /usr/local/bin/mktemp
is the implementation from courtesan.com (we had previously determined
that "my" implementation in the misc package sucked; the courtesan
version was good).
Sigh. I'm not sure I have the energy for this.
