 It's not gcc's use of autoconf, it's _every other package_'s usage.=20
 
 That's the unfortunately part. I don't know for sure if autoconf update
 will fix it, but that only helps if every other package updates
 autoconf. My suggestion was to fix a non-problem uglyness in gcc to
 alleviate a problem in autoconf that it aggravates.=20
