Hi,
The included patch surprisingly fixes the "cannot run" error in
libltdl/configure when attempting to build the latest CVS libtool with
the latest CVS autoconf.
1. AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS is AC_PROVIDEd
2. AC_CANONICAL_HOST requires AC_CANONICAL_BUILD
3. AC_CANONICAL_BUILD requires AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS
All appears well and nice at step 3: the dependency are satisfied.
However, what actually happens is:
* AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS is expanded/provided in the NORMAL diversion
* AC_CANONICAL_HOST is expanded in the NORMAL dirversion
* AC_CANONICAL_BUILD is expanded in the NORMAL_1 diversion
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD uses $ac_config_sub provided by AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS,
but is textually output before $ac_config_sub is set.
So, here's the "fix". However, this is not very robust, and the real
problem with the AC_REQUIRE diversions needs to be fixed.
