Same here.
I uninstalled autoconf, automake and texinfo. The Maxima package built
fine, and all doctests (including the long ones) passed.
So I'm happy with this. I don't really see any advantage in another
method, given this does work and has been tested by a few people. Those
tests (in my case at least) are not only that it builds, but that all the
tests pass too.
My tests were performed on an !OpenSolaris system (quad core Xeon
processor).
I'll leave as "needs work" for now, as this is too late for 4.6.2, so we
could use another method if we want. But personally I think this is fine
and should be put to positive review.
