Package: autotools-dev
Version: 20161112.1+nmu1
Severity: important

The config.guess and config.sub scripts are outdated: more than
one year old. We had a report of a build failure of GNU MPFR 4 RC1
on some machine due to the scripts provided by Debian (not sure
whether this comes from these scripts or other ones provided by
Autoconf, but an autoreconf -f -i on that machine solved the
problem). In any case, the intent of this package is to provide
up-to-date scripts.
