OK, good. > >So, how can I reproduce the failure you have seen? > The order of how I managed things were : > - Redownload HEAD and 2.1 (unknown date) > - Under MinGW, `autoreconf -i' (with installed autoconf 2.59 and > automake 1.5.6): fails This is the heart of the matter: run `./bootstrap' instead, it will call autoreconf. See `./bootstrap -h' if you want to avoid regenerating all the old testsuite directories.

Well, I'm sorry you had so much work with this. It's an unfortunate but hard-to-avoid consequence of the fact that Libtool is both a user of the libtool macros and auxiliary files as well as the source of it, which makes using plain autoreconf a bit difficult to achieve. (The missing files are due to some feature in CVS Autoconf and CVS Automake we make use of optionally; bootstrap also works around that.) Hope this clarifies it all.
