Just now I replaced configure.ac with and older version before the
specific junit and hamcrest version checking. Hopefully this will get
our current buildbots rolling again.
The major problem with newer buildbots using Ubuntu is the glibc version
is newer compared to what is used in our "baseline" Linux, which is
CentOS5, or even, as I discovered CentOS7. SO, I can't test the builds
using my CentOS 6.8, for example. Newer end user Linux systems would
probably not have problems.
The good thing about moving to the Ubuntu 14.04 buildbots was our
capability to install what we needed basically directly vs putting in
Jira tix to infra.
I'm hoping the buildbots will run OK this evening.
ps. I think Windows is building --without-junit, so we have an
inconsistency there.
