Yes it has:

I forgot to say that if the user wants such magic stuff, we can
document how to write the proper config.site which does that. I am
personally against having configure encode such things, it should be
entirely under the control of the user.

Hello,
I think I have found a bug in autoconf v2.13 when combining
autoheader, AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS and AC_C_CONST or AC_C_INLINE .
This results in inline and const being defined as an empty string.
It happens when trying to use the generated configure script with
gcc v2.95.2 .
It does not happe

I think the current Autoconf has solved these issues. In fact running
the test suite with CC=g++ works.
Thanks!
I seem to see this answer quite often to bug reports
about the currently released autoconf v. 2.13.
My question is, what is left to do before the next
release? and how quickly can we get everything done?

Yep, I am, and I agree it's frightening.
Nevertheless I think that in the future, since we plan to rewrite most
of the compiler related macros, we

Dear sirs,
While trying to use autoconf-2.13 on our cross-compiler toolkit, we
