One could easily say that the problem is binutils' configure.in, once it was converted from "This is not an autoconf input script" to an actual autoconf (2.13) input script, didn't include "AC_PREREQ(2.13)".When trying to configure/build binutils' cvs trunk sources I get a problem with running the autoconf script. A reply on binutils' list claims this to be a problem of cygwin's autoconf wrapper script.
The script is "generic" in the sense that I use it without modification on Linux. However, nobody else does. AFAIK, it's only widely used on cygwin.Is that script generic or is it cygwin specific?
How about submitting this as a patch to the binutils people, with the argument that "to avoid problems when wrapper scripts default to 'the wrong version', let's explicitly require the correct version in each configure.in, and change them from 2.13 to 2.5x as progress is made" ('course, you'll need to test it first; I haven't).If it's cyginw specific perhaps it could be addressed here??
