<sigh> Why don't you ever go and actually *find something out* about what
you're talking about before you spout nonsense all over the list? This is not
a remedial class for people who can't be bothered to read the docs.
Yes, gcc uses autoconf. But the end-users who just want to compile gcc from
a tarball do not have to have autoconf installed, because we supply all the
generated files for them in the tarball.

what is the matter if the generated files aren't updated?
The users will say many times broken situations like bootstrap doesn't
work or else.
