FYI, Steven Bosscher has made amazing progress towards implementing Mach-O link time optimization for FSF gcc working on my machine under fink...
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2010-05/msg00035.html One issue I have run into though is how to reliably produce the necessary fink autoconf-2.64 package for regenerating configure files in FSF gcc (which requires exactly 2.64). Steven is now testing under i386 fink and I ran into the same random issue as before when trying to replace the stock autoconf file in unstable with one for 2.64. Using the autoconf.info of...

It has some compatibility problems with older packages. If you want to work on a package that requires Autoconf 2.13, install the autoconf2.13 package instead.

Try building just this current package autoconf (i.e, "fink build autoconf"). When that has completed successfully, you could retry whatever you did that led to the present error. Regardless of the cause of the lock failure, don't worry: you have not wasted compiling time! Packages that had been completely built before this error occurred will not have to be recompiled. See http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:buildlocks for more information. /sw_i386/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-autoconf-2.64-200 >/dev/null Failed: buildlock failure Any idea why this is happening and how to avoid it. It would be nice to try to keep an autoconf package in fink that could be used by the darwin FSF gcc developers (if they decided to work with the fink installed tools).
