GNU autoconf for z/OS works fine, it just creates additional complexity/challenges beyond the httpd 1.3 build system. > Same goes for libtool. GNU libtool for z/OS doesn't work well at all, at least not for building httpd-2.x. Sure, the ideal solution would be to fix it. But it is GPLed which means that for all practical purposes, I can't work on it. Even if I could, it is pretty complex and has more functionality than we need/use for Apache httpd, and as far as I know, lacks knowledge of z/OS things like exports files and how shared objects work on this platform. So it was simpler for us to create our own libtool tailored for httpd/apr. Greg
