Perhaps its worth trying those versions of autotools. I will update the
configure.ac in the git repository with the changes from autoupdate.
Hi Patrick,

autoupdate will only replace

-AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
+LT_INIT

-AC_CHECK_LIBM
+LT_LIB_M

The macros used in gsl-1.16 are the old versions provided by libtool 1. The modern versions were introduced in libtool 2 and since the old versions nowadays are aliased via AU_ALIAS, calling AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and LT_INIT will expand to the same shell code. In other words, autoupdate will only modify the 'configure.ac' but the shell code in 'configure' will be identical and the only effect of the update is that configure.ac will require libtool 2 (and that autoconf -W all will no longer warn).

Cheers,
Peter
