Yup. Got autoconf-2.61. Didn't work. Got m4-1.4.8. Now it works.
On Solaris. Can't do autoconf on z/OS because I haven't a working
perl there.
But now on z/OS, I get config.log:
configure:2002: checking build system type
configure:2020: result: i370-ibm-openedition
configure:2042: checking host system type
configure:2057: result: i370-ibm-openedition
configure:2083: autobuild project... GNU coreutils
...
configure:8832: checking whether // is distinct from /
configure:8861: result: yes
... Success there, at least. I have no plans to try the cross-compiler
case.
Now I need to figure out why configure can't make getmntinfo work.
It works on Solaris, so I guess that becomes my experimental
control.
Thanks again,
