--- Comment #26 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
No, I needed far more than that. Obviously I needed the right versions of
autoconf and automake first in my PATH, which is simple. But I also needed to
use contrib/gcc_update to fix all the timestamps, so that there weren't loads
of errors caused by reconf'ing files in libbacktrace, zlib and lto-plugin.

contrib/gcc_update prevented those, but that means a simple "svn up" or "git
pull" doesn't work when using maintainer mode, and the script can't be used if
you have any uncommitted changes in a git tree.

After solving those issues I got a load of errors from libtool macros:

configure.ac:40: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library

I have no idea what that's caused by. Obviously I have libtool installed (in
/usr/bin and I also tried a symlink to it in /opt/autotools-gcc/bin where I
have the old versions of autoconf and automake). I'm not aware of any
dependency on a specific libtool version.
