Whenever the next automake release is :) I know Ralf (automake maintainer) is presently busy updating all the auto* in gcc and src for gcc-4.5 etc. So I doubt it will be that soon. > > Does this new version work properly when we are trying to compile on > 10.6/32bit? Or does it cause libtool to think that all of the included > libs are supposed to be 64bit, since that is what config.guess reported? config.guess reports x86_64-apple-darwin on 10.6 intel, or if CC='gcc -arch x86_64' CC='gcc -m64' etc. i386 on intel macs otherwise. Upstream libtool uses pass_all for dep libs check method, so it will just give whatever it sees to ld (which will then complain if the arch is wrong). I don't see any problem using the new config.guess in new packages, but blindly using it for older packages has the potential to cause problems. This is the problem fink now has with its Update* fields. Updating the files that will be copied may fix some things, but may break others.
