I am not aware of a CentOS or RHEL bug report, but considering that EL4 is in maintenance mode there won't be a fix anyway (2.59 was released in 2003 and the last update to package was in 2004) > I guess I could start building on CentOS 5, provided that the autoconf > does not have this bug. CentOS 5 also uses autoconf 2.59 so wouldn't help with this problem, but might hopefully allow us remove all the kludges that were added to workaround the libtool 1.5.6 bugs which were preventing DragonFlyBSD support. Ideally, which platform is used to bootstrap shouldn't be relevant though and IMHO we should be instead aiming to the latest versions of the autotools (either installed by hand or provided as part of the distribution if more development focused) and for that when on Linux usually means Fedora, Gentoo or Debian IMHO.
