Hi,
in trying to narrow down a build failure of gcc, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82856
I tried to build a newer version of automake than 1-11.6
(which gcc is currently locked at). All builds failed with
GEN doc/automake-1.13.1
help2man: can't get `--help' info from automake-1.13
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make: *** [Makefile:4278: doc/automake-1.13.1] Fehler 255
and I am at a loss how to proceed.
This is on a recent OpenSuse Tumbleweed, perl is at
$ perl -v
This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for
x86_64-linux-thread-multi

This is currently blocking some gcc development, at least for me.
Any ideas?
Regards
Thomas
