A couple of fixes for bootstrap issues reported on IRC: - on some older glibc systems, ./configure could deadlock due to a glibc malloc bug - on FreeBSD systems, a broken autom4te coupled with gettext 0.18.3 prevents bootstrap; we can't work around it, but can at least inform the user why they have a problem And as always, portability fixes in other modules, some of which are used by libvirt. * .gnulib: Update to latest, in part for bootstrap improvements. * bootstrap: Resync to gnulib. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> --- Hmm, in reading this gnulib changelog, I'm not sure I want to push right away: the line about md5 being tweaked to use openssl makes me wonder if this update is dragging in a new library dependency; I'll have to do a bit more investigation. But here's the patch, if anyone else also wants to investigate. * .gnulib 831b84c...fdfe96f (18):
