Version 2.57.
* NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
* doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
* bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): [^ *\(.*\) *$] ->
[^ *\(.*[^ ]\)? *]. The old regular expression was obviously wrong,
and it blunders into a GNU m4 bug as noted by Martin Frydl in
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014524.html>.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
Martin Frydl in
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
_AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty
arg, AC_DEFINE -> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) in documentation for
obsolete AC_CHECK_TYPE. The missing empty arg was reported
by Simon Josefsson in
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf-patches/2002-December/008830.html>.
* Makefile.maint (www-gnu): New macro.
(standards.texi-url_prefix, make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Use it, as
the location has moved.
