Adding the oe-core list back to the cc list since I accidentally dropped the list on my first response.

Then I started digging into the autotools stuff, since the warning is clearly about expanding autoconf macros and that's when I finally started paying attention to the version numbers on the failing host versus the builders I use that weren't complaining. It could still be that there's something missing, but when I noticed the comment just below the "closed" bar in the issue I linked: <https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/16#issuecomment-7854845> ivmai<https://github.com/ivmai> commented <https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/16#issuecomment-7854845>10 months ago <https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/16#issuecomment-7854845> I have tested the git sources from bdwgc and they only configure properly with autoconf >= 2.69. [...] It seemed like I'd found at least confirmation that what I was seeing was expected. I have no idea why the autotools.bbclass' autoreconf wouldn't do it, though. I'll go have a quick look to see if the tree is different because I also passed it -i when I did the autoreconf. -- Joe MacDonald :wq
