Personally, I've been running with bleeding-edge libtool installed at the same --prefix as autoconf 2.60b, when bootstrapping M4. When distributing m4 1.9b (someday it will be stable enough to post a release candidate to alpha.gnu.org), the distro will be self-contained; so this issue only affects people bootstrapping from CVS. I'm not sure whether this is a libtool limitation, or how best to address it in the m4 bootstrap script. Maybe someone else can suggest some ideas? > > What do you think? > > Bruno > - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
