OK. I've pushed the patches now in Luc's name, and added everyone to THANKS. Hope that's OK for everyone.

For that, ensure you have a fairly recent Autoconf + Automake installed, then: git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf.git cd autoconf autoreconf -vim make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -k AC_F[7C].* -k fortran' and watch the output for any non-PASSing tests; even SKIPs can, but don't have to, hint towards issues. We have to be a bit conservative in the test suite to avoid feedback noise. In order to test specific compilers, pass values for CC=..., F77, FC in TESTSUITEFLAGS as well. Thank you, Ralf
