Re: toplevel configure hits sed program length limit on HP-UX

[Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>]

Hello binutils, gdb-patches,

I've pushed this patch over to src as well, pasted below for convenience
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-09/msg00427.html>

Thanks, done.

Cheers,

Fix toplevel config.status for HP-UX sed.

ChangeLog:
2009-09-08  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* configure.ac: Do not use $extrasub for replacing @if/@endif
	parts in Makefile; instead, use additional arguments to
	AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS to do the replacement manually, with several
	sed invocations, to avoid HP-UX sed command limits.
	* configure: Regenerate.
