Personally, I've already started converting every package I maintain that uses Autoconf to using dh_autoreconf during the build. I wonder if that isn't a better long-term solution for Debian. config.guess/config.sub have caused the most frequent problems, but we've had problems in the past from old versions of Libtool as well, and dh_autoreconf resolves the entire problem (at least for packages for which it works). Paul, separately, if you haven't already, could you request that the Lintian checks for outdated config.guess/config.sub be updated for whatever version you need for arm64? We could also recommend dh_autoreconf at the same time, which might resolve a lot of these problems going forward. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
