I'm afraid you'll have to look into what autoreconf is doing. Bison's bootstrap routine does not invoke gzip or tar itself. I am suspicious of that 'autoreconf-2.5x' message; we assume Autoconf 2.59. > Also, generally, would it be a big deal to just import a known working > version of gnulib and all of the localizations in to bison's cvs?
