Follow-up Comment #9, patch #7055 (project libtool): Hmpf. Maybe this code does come from somewhere else, and the Autoconf used isn't old. Anyway, the verbose log shows that something sets host= to empty after host is set correctly. That is a bug, either in your configure.ac script or some Aut

Follow-up Comment #8, patch #7055 (project libtool): Your verbose configure output contains lines like + nonopt=NONE which have been removed from Autoconf in 2000. So, unless they come from your configure.ac file, this configure script has been generated with an ancient autoconf version. Try r

Follow-up Comment #6, patch #7055 (project libtool): OK. You are using an *ancient* version of Autoconf, presumably 2.13, but it must be from before 2000. Please update to a non-ancient version first; libtool requires 2.59 or newer, but preferably you should use 2.65. _
