I've now pushed this gnulib patch. I'm still trying to work out if I can make gnulib guarantee that './configure --runstatedir' will work even when using autoconf 2.59 - 2.69 (instead of forcing project managers to require 2.70), but it has turned complicated enough to warrant being a separate patch. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
