I've pulled kaffe up to use automake 1.8.4. I've adapted the config.sub patch accordingly so that it applies to both config.sub files again.
That should fix the libltdl time stamp problems again, and liberate you from needing automake 1.8.4 to build kaffe. Sorry for that inconveniece, it took a while to track down. It turned out to be due to the config.sub superh patch no longer applying to the more up-to-date config.sub used in libltdl.
On a side note, automake 1.8.4 release notes have the following to say:
Known issue not fixed in 1.8.4:
Historically Automake has always tried to generate V7 format tarballs during `make dist'. This format is quite antiquated, but is portable. It supports filenames with up to 99 characters. When given longer filenames some tar implementations will diagnose the problem while other will generate broken or non-V7 tarballs. For instance GNU tar 1.13.25 will produce an archive with GNU extensions, while the latest GNU tar beta (1.13.93) will silently truncate filenames.
Automake 1.9 will have options to select newer tar formats, and diagnose long filenames. In the meantime we recommand that people who cannot avoid long filenames in their packages stick to GNU tar 1.13.25.
so I'm waiting for automake 1.9 for some improved long-filenames-in-tar support, since some filenames in kaffe are long enough to break on non-gnu tars.
cheers, dalibor topic
