please update config.guess and libtool

please update config.guess and libtool

[Robert Millan]

Hi!

Could someone please update config.{guess,sub} and libtool in GCC sources?
Recent versions contain fixes needed to support GNU/K*BSD.

Thanks,

I would, but the master copies are not any longer on ftp.gnu.org
since the FSF server has been taken over.

Is it OK to import the HEAD revision from savannah.gnu.org?

Yes.

Libtool files would be far trickier, though, as they will require the
entire tree to have already been converted to autoconf 2.5x.

I've just noticed that the official documentation is quite
vague about the correct procedure to use.
(http://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html#upstream).

According to http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-05/msg00636.html ,
I've checked out the HEAD revisions of config.sub and
config.guess and I'm going to do this:

 $ cd <config_stuff_to_import>
 $ cvs -d :ext:bernie@gcc.gnu.org:/cvs/gcc import \
      gcc SUBVERSION config-2003-06-13
 $ cd <gcc_sandbox>
 $ cvs admin -bSUBVERSION config.sub config.guess


It looks like nobody had ever used this procedure before,
otherwise there would be a SUBVERSION branch tag on
config.sub and several import tags, wouldn't it?

I'm confused... :-/

I wasn't planning to import those anyway... :-)

You don't need to do anything near that complicated.  Just copy in new
ones and check it in...

FYI, the referred article was a *proposal* for a correct way to
automate various tasks that trip up gcc maintainers.  I'm sure that
you are quite correct that the named vendor branches don't exist
within gcc...  The thread ended here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-05/msg00802.html

"PS, the issue is now moot since it appears that we don't wish to use
 cvs import in the gcc tree.  I.e. although the word "import" was/is
 used in some documentation related to how we will handle our source
 tree for gcc at gcc.gnu.org, it was never meant to imply the actual
 use of `cvs import'."

Uhm.. two questions:

 - Is a libtool/autoconf migration planned for 3.4?
 - Patches welcome?
