RE: Problems with glibc patch #2 at http://kegel.com/xgcc3

[Dan Kegel <dkegel at ixiacom dot com>]

According to
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2001-07/msg00308.html
glibc doesn't build with autoconf2.53.  Please try using
autoconf2.13 instead.

Hello Dan,

thank you for your quick response. Here my autoconf version.

wschmied@linux:~> autoconf -V
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53
Written by David J. MacKenzie and Akim Demaille.

I will put all my scripts and additional info on a web page. It will
take me 
some time.

Regards
	Wolfgang
