I have never ever gotten a full src tree to cleanly build with --enable-maintainer-mode, and IIRC not even without. I've always just worked on the git binutils-gdb mirror. The rest of the tree has IMHO lacked lots of love at least on the build system side. If you tell me that it is used actively, and they are generally willing to see updated build machinery (and there is somebody to review patches to this end, timely, too), then I would look into this task. But last time I looked I didn't think a drift apart would make things any worse; for example, Autoconf versions used were quite inconsistent already. Sorry if I've misunderstood things there. I hope there is a chance this does not need to happen in lock step. Cheers, Ralf
