I would generate our configure with 2.61 (for which we know is good) and let others choose their own. In many cases, distributions are shipping their own patches to 2.62 that are addressing the problem, so no need to ban 2.62 outright. PS. I just checked Fedora's Rawhide and autoconf 2.62 there has a patch that appears to be addressing the same issue. Obviously, openSuSE have one etc. -- Bojan
