I have been unable to compile newlib 1.16 with autoconf 2.63. Compiling with binutils 2.19.1, gcc-4.3.2 modified source to work for my kernel. I have tracked the issue to differences to the version of autoconf. It works with autoconf 2.59 but fails with 2.63. libgloss/doors/configure.in (copied from libgloss/libnosys/configure.in) is exactly the same. I used binutils 2.18 with autoconf 2.59 and that worked. Unfortunately, binutils 2.18 does not like my version of texinfo. I can't remember which version of Ubuntu I was used when it compiled properly. If I understand correctly, configure.in is passed to autoconf to produce configure. The differences in configure is where the issue is, because LIB_AC_PROG_CC gets placed into the configure script directly and that is what causes the error. Ubuntu 9.04. Using built-in specs.

Not sure if I am forgetting anything. If I am, just let me know and I will try to find out. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/autoconf-2.63-and-newlib-tp23477052p23477052.html Sent from the Gnu - Autoconf - Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
