* autoreconf.sh (verbose): use either `:' or `echo'.
(aclocal_m4): Renamed from aclocal.
(aclocal_flags): New var.
Run aclocal using $aclocal_flags.
Redirect ls' stderr to /dev/null to avoid spurious messages.
* mkinstalldirs: Add `-m' flag to specify the mode of a newly
created directory. Add command line usage and `-h', `--help'
options. Contributed by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>.
* config.guess: Avoid the possibility of `ld' on GNU/Linux
systems being something other than the GNU linker (such as a
directory, in the case of GNU binutils).
* acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT): Do not consider `.xcoff' as a
possible executable filename extension. Contributed by Robert
S. Maier <rsm@math.arizona.edu>.
* standards.texi: Update from FSF.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Avoid using the installation
script belonging to HP `pwplus' when running the install
program. Contributed by Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>

<ezk@cs.columbia.edu>.
1999-03-11 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
* config.guess: Prefer $HOST_CC over $CC when deciding on a C
compiler to compile stub programs. Allow this to be overridden
with the value of $BUILD_CC in cross-compilation environments
where the native compiler must be used for running tests on the
host.
* install-sh: Avoid trailing whitespace.
* autoscan.pl (parse_args): Make compatible with Perl version 4.
1999-02-24 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Detect LynxOS 3.x. Contributed by Giuseppe
Guerrini <guisguerrini@racine.ra.it>.
1999-02-10 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>

AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS macro in greater detail. Suggested by
Franc,ois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Explicitly require
AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET and AC_CONICAL_BUILD.
(AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Run auxillary shell scripts through $SHELL.
Do not rely on their magic number.
(AC_CANONICAL_THING): New macro. Cache results.

(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use $SHELL.
(AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Likewise.

1999-01-12 Scott Bambrough <scottb@corelcomputer.com>

alias for the NetWinder; set company to `corel'.

when $CXXCPP is overridden in the supervisory shell. Contributed
by Michael Schoene <mrs@mlc.de>.

Contributed by Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez@apple.com>.
* config.sub: Add rhapsody and openstep aliases.
* autoconf.texi: Document AC_CACHE_LOAD and AC_CACHE_SAVE. Explain
how AC_CACHE_SAVE can be used as a means of syncing the cache to
disk prior to doing something potentially fatal in configure.
* autoreconf.sh: Support several automake command line options,
and run aclocal and automake when needed. Also, create stamp files
just like automake's Makefiles would do for config headers.
Additional contributions from Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_FORTRAN77): Remove [] (i.e. the m4 quotes)
since it was confusing the testsuite. Also make `f77' the default
for FC, otherwise the testsuite fails.
* autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler Characteristics): Added new
node documenting the new AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS macro.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): New macro to determine
the linker flags (e.g. `-L' and `-l') for the Fortran 77 intrinsic
and run-time libraries.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): New macro. Detects the
types of formal arguments to select(). Contributed by Lars Hecking
<lhecking@nmrc.ucc.ie>.

(SELECT_TYPE_ARG234): Likewise.
(SELECT_TYPE_ARG5): Likewise.
* autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Documented third argument to
AC_DEFINE.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Generate `verbatim'
assignment if third argument given.

77 support.

(AC_TRY_LINK)
(AC_CHECK_LIB)
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_FORTRAN77): Rename `AC_LANG_FORTRAN' to
`AC_LANG_FORTRAN77'. Change the Fortran 77 language macro from
`FORTRAN' to `FORTRAN77'.
(AC_LANG_RESTORE): Change the Fortran 77 language macro from
`FORTRAN' to `FORTRAN77'
* autoconf.texi: Updated Fortran 77 documentation, particularly
for `AC_TRY_COMPILE', `AC_TRY_LINK' and `AC_CHECK_LIB'.

macro can be used to ensure that a configure script will not run
on a second system without removing the cache and re-running
configure. Contributed by Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): New macro. Searches a series of
libraries for a given function. Contributed by Jim Blandy

* testsuite/Makefile.in (check): If DejaGNU is not installed,
print a warning and skip the `dejacheck' target (which will fail).

messages if `site.exp' or `site.bak' do not exist. Contributed by
Karl Heuer <kwzh@gnu.org>.
* config.guess: Treat all SPARC variant processors running BSD/OS
as just `sparc' for compatibility reasons. Contributed by Chris
Torek <torek@bsdi.com>.
