Pushed, after first porting the autoconf 2.61 patch that recognizes --debugfile back to the autoconf 2.59 branch, in case anyone wants to still build a variant of autoconf 2.59 that doesn't spit out warnings when used with m4 1.6. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=shortlog;h=branch-2.59 -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ M4-patches mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/m4-patches
