Nope, that sounds like stock (or maybe vendor-patched) 2.64, depending on whether the xz maintainer builds his own autoconf or uses a distro. Given these entries in later autoconf NEWS files: * Major changes in Autoconf 2.66 (2010-07-02) [stable] ** The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again. Regression introduced in 2.65. * Major changes in Autoconf 2.65 (2009-11-21) [stable] ** The AC_TYPE_UINT64_T and AC_TYPE_INT64_T macros have been fixed to no longer mistakenly select a 32-bit type on some compilers (bug present since macros were introduced in 2.59c). The bug thus appears to merely be that xz ran a too-old version of autoconf, where AC_TYPE_UINT64_T was buggy for your compiler. The bug has hopefully already been fixed in newer autoconf, and running 'autoreconf' with 2.66 (or even better, with the pending 2.67) installed, should create a configure file for xz that no longer has the bug for your platform. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
