I am looking at what version of autoconf parts of the src tree are using
because I want to update libtool and that requires that everything use a
autoconf 2.5 or later.
Almost all of gdb is using autoconf 2.59, but the gdb/nlm directory, for
some reason, is still configured with autoconf 2.13. Does anyone know
why?
Inertia, I'm sure.
I ran autoconf 2.59 on the current configure.in file in gdb/nlm and it
seemed to work OK. I didn't get any errors or warnings from autoconf.
The resulting configure file is quite different due to changes between
autoconf 2.13 and 2.59 but it looked OK and I didn't do anymore testing
because it looks like this subdirectory is only used by netware targets
and I don't have one of those.
Does anyone know why the gdb/nlm subdirectory couldn't be changed to use
autoconf 2.59?
I think that if you could successfully build an nlmstub (which only
requires a cross compiler I think?), that would be a good enough
criterion for updating the autoconf requirement.
