For the tests for which it is ok that older autotools are insufficient, we should just skip the individual test. I haven't had a chance to look at the tests to see which ones should work and which ones shouldn't. In any case the old-iface ones should.

circular library dependencies
This week, gnulib moved to the scenario where it will create circular library dependencies. For example, on branch-1_4 of m4, when compiling the test program tests/test-gl_array, lib/libm4.a depends on program_name provided by progname.o in tests/libtests.a, but tests/libtests.a depends on xmalloc provided by xalloc.o in lib/libm4.a. So the solution was to make gnulib output the same library twice on the link line. But now with m4 head, this is tripping up libtool, which doesn't respect circular library dependencies: /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -gdwarf-2 -Wall - Werror -o test-array_list.exe test-array_list.o libtests.a ../../gnu/libgnu.la libtests.a /usr/local/lib/libintl.dll.a - liconv -L/usr/local/lib libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -gdwarf-2 -Wall -Werror -o .libs/test- array_list.exe test-array_list.o ../../gnu/.libs/libgnu.a libtests.a /usr/local/lib/libintl.dll.a /usr/lib/libiconv.dll.a -L/usr/local/lib libtests.a(gl_array_list.o): In function `gl_array_create_empty': ../../../tests/gnu/gl_array_list.c:61: undefined reference to `_xmalloc' Even though libtests.a was properly specified both before and after gnu/libgnu.la in the original tool, libtool discarded the first instance of libtests.a when generating the link command, leading to link failure. How do we go about solving this? -- Eric Blake ___ Bug-libtool mailing list Bug-libtool@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool

I am not sure what to do in these cases, sure the tools are old, but people will download libtool-2.x and run ./configure; make; make check, and it will fail simply because they have older automake & autoconf. Should we print a warning at make check time warning users that their versions of automake and autoconf are too old to run the testsuite?
