* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for the kstat_open()
function in libkstat (on systems such as Solaris). This family of
functions is preferred since they don't require setgid permissions
to use them. Fix for autoconf/65.
* autoconf.texi (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF): Do not mention which systems
might have their setvbuf() arguments reordered. It's difficult to
accurately determine and is not essential. Fix for autoconf/7.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Define ISLOWER and ISUPPER
macros correctly on EBCDIC systems. Contributed by Kurt D.
Zeilenga <kurt@openldap.org>. Fix for autoconf/6.
* autoreconf.sh: Do not run autoheader if AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
commented out in configure.in. Reported by Erez Zadok
<ezk@cs.columbia.edu> as a fix for autoconf/21.
* config.guess: Clear the CCOPTS environment variable before
invoking the C compiler on HP-UX. This is necessary to guarantee
that the test program is compiled correctly. Reported by Dietmar
P. Schindler <schd@mra.man.de>.
* configure.in: Check if an appropriate version of GNU m4 is
installed at configure-time rather than at runtime. From Pavel
Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>. Fix for autoconf/2.
Fix for autoconf/28.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012, use
`echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
* autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
* configure: Rebuilt.
* autoreconf.sh: Recognise -v as a synonym for --verbose.
1999-09-07 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* Makefile.in (INSTALL, standards.info, autoconf.info): MiKTeX
for Windows treats all options after the first filename as
additional filenames, so real options must appear before the first
filename.
1999-09-07 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* autoconf.texi (LDFLAGS, LIBS): Document that -L linker flags
should be kept in LDFLAGS and not LIBS.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Use $ac_lib as the index, not $i.
* acgeneral.m4 (CONFIG_AUX_DIRS): Try running `shtool install'.
Contributed by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>.
1999-09-04 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Use POSIX compliant shell code on DG/UX.
Suggested by Stephen Gildea <gildea@alum.mit.edu>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Output comment to not only
`Makefile', but also `makefile'.
1999-09-04 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
* Makefile.in (install): Don't freak if the M4FROZEN files were
never generated. m4 1.1 is supported, but doesn't freeze files.
1999-09-04 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org>
* config.guess: Autodetect ArmLinux using 2.9.1.xx linker
emulation names and using the emulation names from the linker from
the binutils CVS tree.
* config.sub: Change manufacturer name for the NetWinder alias
from Corel to Rebel.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): Define.
1999-08-18 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Remove "/MP" from the release string on
multiprocessor x86 machines running SVR4.0. Suggested by Tom
Purcell <Tom.Purcell@wang.com>.
1999-08-16 Kaveh R. Ghazi <ghazi@caip.rutgers.edu>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Add optional third argument
INCLUDES, which specifies the headers in which to search for the
type in question. Also, pass a "description" argument to
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
* acconfig.h (mode_t, off_t, pid_t, size_t): Remove definitions.
* autoconf.texi (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Document optional third argument.
Merge with the EGCS source tree.

OpenBSD on PA-RISC and UnixWare version 7.x.
Improve usage of `tr' where sets are concerned.
Detect all HP 9000 machines.
Determine machine types more completely on older UnixWare systems.
Determine C library version on GNU/Linux for the PowerPC.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): set INSTALL_SCRIPT to
${INSTALL} so that automake doesn't propogate install time flags
for INSTALL_PROGRAM into INSTALL_SCRIPT.
* 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>
and Dave Adams <adams@hpesdwa.fc.hp.com>.
* config.sub: Recognise hppa2.0w. Contributed by Erez Zadok
<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>

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.

performance enhancement for about a 5% reduction in the runtime of
the generated configure script.
* config.guess: Recognise armv[234][lb] types (ie. `armv*').
1999-01-12 Scott Bambrough <scottb@corelcomputer.com>
* config.sub: Recognize armv[234][lb] types (ie. `armv*'). Add
alias for the NetWinder; set company to `corel'.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Substitute @CXXCPP@ correctly
when $CXXCPP is overridden in the supervisory shell. Contributed
by Michael Schoene <mrs@mlc.de>.
* config.guess: Detect Rhapsody on PowerPC and other machines.
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.

assignment if third argument given.
(AC_DEFINE): Likewise.

(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

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).
(site.exp): Use tests to guard commands from generating error
messages if `site.exp' or `site.bak' do not exist. Contributed by
Karl Heuer <kwzh@gnu.org>.

as just `sparc' for compatibility reasons. Contributed by Chris
Torek <torek@bsdi.com>.

existence of a file in the file system (native only).
