I have perused the configure.* and Makefile.* files to understand what changes I need to make in order have the new processor built. Unfortunately I am not an expert in autoconf and automake and every time I attempt to rebuild the configure/Makefiles I run into multiple issues. 1) I am not entirely sure which configure.* and Makefile.* need to be updated to add a new processor. 2) Lack of understanding how to rebuild configure scripts and Makefiles When trying to rebuild configure scripts and Makefiles it appears there is a restriction and/or assumption on the particular version of the tools that required. I have linux box with the latest version of Ubuntu that I am using as my build machine. I have the following versions of utilities. aclocal 1.10.1 autoconf 2.61 automake 1.10.1 libtool 1.5.26 If I remove the restriction of autoconf 2.59 things and try to regenerate the files I run into several build issues. It would be very nice if I could use the latest versions of these utilities to build. U just need the recipe to regenerate the proper files to build. Thanks in advance, Steve
