Hi,
My general impressions after 1 day of autoconf 2.50 use.
- The backtrace facility is really a nice feature.
- "config.status much faster on most architectures"
but configure is slower. Here are the timings of gettext's configure:
autoconf 2.13: 23.0 sec real 14.2 sec user
autoconf 2.50: 24.5 sec real 14.8 sec user
So you are not following Moore's law that programs should get twice as
slow every 18 months, in order to compensate the increase in CPU speed
in the same time :-)
- Why is the @host_alias@ Makefile variable not set any more? It is still
documented.
