             Bug #: 13432
           Summary: configure.ac:33: error: Please use exactly Autoconf
                    2.64 instead of 2.68.
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dark_footix@yahoo.fr
    Classification: Unclassified


on the nightly, ( yesterday )

When I try to compile I have :

configure.ac:33: error: Please use exactly Autoconf 2.64 instead of 2.68.
config/override.m4:12: _GCC_AUTOCONF_VERSION_CHECK is expanded from...

my version 2.68 of autoconf is more recent than the 2.64, 
Can you allow version >= to the hoping version,  and not force with an equality
?

How did you run configure?
If you used --enable-maintainer-mode, then just drop that.
It will all build ok without it.

We require a specific version across the entire tree to
ensure that we are all testing the same thing.
It is possible to upgrade the version, but it takes a committed
effort, so in practice it isn't done that frequently.
