I _think_ that m4 was not building properly because of a timestamps problem in the sources, which I think I've fixed (though it could have been Peter's adjustments to libtool yesterday which did the magic). At any rate, m4, automake, autoconf and libtool now appear to build successfully on both rlsul0 and rlsaxp0, and bootstrap-buildsupport builds successfully on rlsul0. Unfortunately starconf won't build on Tru64, because the blasted configure script chooses /bin/ksh in preference to /bin/sh for some arcane reason involving inadequate support for $LINENO (like I care!), and install-manifest can't work under ksh as written. But that's odd, too, since Tru64 make is documented to use /bin/sh always, so what the...? Or.... More tomorrow, I suppose.
