Hi Paolo, all,
any plans to bump Autoconf and Libtool versions used in GCC?
I'd like to see 2.68 and 2.4.0 in 4.6 in due course of course
(i.e., after both have been released, and before stage 1 ends).
Regarding Libtool, sure. However, we need to ascertain if and how the
new sysroot functionality affects GCC (in particular if the configure
options are incompatible).
Regarding Autoconf, I'd rather see a further upstream release before
upgrading, and also waiting a month after the release. I'm not
comfortable with forcing GCC contributors to use a release with known
regressions (though not affecting GCC).
On the other hand, given the above plan I would be okay with upgrading
Autoconf during early stage 3.
