You shouldn't need autogen for GCC testing at all; all the autogen-generated files are included in CVS. Unless you've been altering fixincludes or the top level Makefile.[tpl|def], you don't need autogen. I'm not sure what problem you're having. Perhaps you're thinking of autoconf and automake? GCC uses autoconf 2.13, and some obsolete version of automake, but I don't remember which because I don't like automake. If you're moving the ada library into a separate toplevel directory like the other libraries, then I guess you do need to alter the top level Makefile, and I'll be happy to help in any way possible. (Probably you just need to add one line in Makefile.def, add one dependency in Makefile.tpl, and rerun autogen.) --Nathanael
