autogen fails to build because its {,sig}setjmp(3) detection is broken:
checking whether setjmp() links okay... no
checking whether sigsetjmp() links okay... no
...
configure: error: AutoGen requires sigsetjmp(3)
The problem is that both functions want a sigjmp_buf, not a sigjmp_buf *.
Patch for ag_macros.m4 fixes this by passing bf instead of &bf twice.
I regenerated the other patch and fiddled with CONFIGURE_STYLE and
AUTOCONF_VERSION until it built. The completely incomprehensible error
messages on the way there always confuse me, so I hope someone who
understands this magic will be able to tell me how to do it right (or
commit a fixed version of the diff below).
With this fixed, devel/ti-msp430gcc packages.
