On my FreeBSD PC, I have installed the required autotools for the libtool 
branch:
  libtool 1.4.3
  autoconf / autoheader 2.57
  automake/ aclocal 1.5

This is what I get:

$ ./CVSMake
configure.ac:963: warning: AC_PROG_LEX invoked multiple times
configure.ac: 9: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER', not `AC_CONFIG_HEADER'
automake: configure.ac: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt --with-extra-prefix=/opt 
--x-includes=/usr/local/include --x-libraries=/usr/local/lib
$ gmake
[...]
sh ../../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. 
-I../../../include -I../../../include  -Dfreebsd  -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/X11 
-I/usr/local/include/libxml2  -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include  -O 
-pipe -Wall -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c 
-o zclipQ.lo `test -f zclipQ.c || echo './'`zclipQ.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../include -I../../../include -Dfreebsd 
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/X11 -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -O -pipe -Wall -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c zclipQ.c -o zclipQ.o

Here, zclipQ.c compiles for ever. This is not related to the autotools, but is 
a known compiler bug; however it
will hassle all FreeBSD users running the latest stable OS release, which keeps 
using Gcc 2.95.4 for as long as
the 4.x branch is the main release (5.x uses Gcc 3.1.2, but is due for stable 
release sometime next year or
even later). David, is there a fix?

Regards,
Rob.
