Daniel, do we want to drill into this further, to analyse what the
older version of autotools on the
libvirt.org build server is doing...?
Thinking that it might (unsure) "just be easier" to upgrade the
autotools version on the server?
:)
Builds are not done on the server but on my workstation, currently
running Fedora 12:
paphio:~ -> rpm -q autoconf automake libtool
autoconf-2.63-5.fc12.noarch
automake-1.11.1-1.fc12.noarch
libtool-2.2.6-18.fc12.1.x86_64
I should probably update them before the next release ...
