Yes, I used pure 2.13 as downloaded from ftp.gnu.org.
I think I've worked out what happened. I did a 'cvs update', but
didn't think to do a 'cvs update -d', and my tree was pretty old
(because I only use it to do this) so config/accross.m4 and
config/acx.m4 were not included in the regeneration. If I regenerate
with the updated tree, I get the same configure as I got for GCC. This
new configure differs from the current one by not having a --site-file
flag, and in no other interesting way.
