I got them from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils:
autoconf-000227.tar.bz2
automake-000227.tar.bz2
gettext-000227.tar.bz2
libtool-000227.tar.bz2
(substituting sources.redhat.com for the obsolete sourceware.cygnus.com), using
the current checked out sources from yesterday. Since I am adding a new
machine, I needed to rebuild the appropriate files. I built them from scratch,
installed them in a directory, and put that earlier on my $PATH before the
standard tools in /usr/bin. The commands I issued were:
--> aclocal
--> autoconf
--> automake
