tree breakage

[Jack Howarth]

Ulrich,
   I realize the cvs is a bit torn up now with the ppc64 patches
going in. However I am seeing an odd failure in the tree now. If
I do...

GCC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O3" ../configure --p
refix=/usr --enable-add-ons=yes --without-cvs --enable-kernel=2.2.5 --without-t
ls powerpc-redhat-linux

...which I did yesterday it seems to configure okay however a make
gives...

make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" CVSOPTS="" -C .. objdir=`pwd` all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/howarth/glibccvs/libc'
configure.in:148: warning: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: you should use literals
configure.in:582: error: AC_REQUIRE: cannot be used outside of an m4_defun'd macro
configure.in:582: AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX is required by...
configure.in:582: the top level
make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/howarth/glibccvs/libc'
make: *** [all] Error 2


The above if from in a build-powerpc-linux subdir created in libc.
If I go back into libc and do...

aclocal
autoconf

I get the same error...

configure.in:148: warning: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: you should use literals
configure.in:582: error: AC_REQUIRE: cannot be used outside of an m4_defun'd macro
configure.in:582: AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX is required by...
configure.in:582: the top level

Any idea what is causing this? It seems somewhat unexpected to me.
                                Jack
