I was trying to build OpenSP for MSYS2 (using msys2_shell.bat) and ran
into this issue:

configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

when configuring the build.  So I assumed that it was due to an old
build type autoconf macro file so I ran `autoreconf -ivf` to update all
of the config scripts to the latest assuming that the this would fix the
build type issue.  No such luck as I got:

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal  --output=aclocal.m4t
aclocal: macro `_LT_COMPILER_PIC' required but not defined
aclocal: macro `_LT_DECL_SED' required but not defined
aclocal: macro `_LT_DECL_SED' required but not defined
aclocal: macro `_LT_FUNC_STRIPNAME_CNF' required but not defined
aclocal: macro `gl_ICONV_H_DEFAULTS' required but not defined
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

The the missing _LT macros are a bit surprising since this these are
libtool macros which I'm assuming are installed along with libtool
package.  The other thing I noticed is that the default version of
automake is 1.6.

The questions I have are:

1) Does the latest autoconf build type macro file include msys as a
build type or do I need to patch the config.foo files?

2) Shouldn't automake default to the latest 1.15?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Cheers,

Wayne
