Re: Autoconf 2.57a (Was: [GNU Autoconf 2.57] testsuite: 31 32 34 failed)

[Akim Demaille]

Thanks for the report!  

Autoconf 2.57a has just been released, and it should address the bugs
you reported below.  Please, download the beta at one of the URL
below, and run its test suite.  If it still fails, please report of
the failures to <address@hidden>.  Thanks in advance!

Autoconf 2.57a is released.  It mainly addresses bugs of 2.57.

Here are the MD5 and SHA1 signatures:

NEWS:

** New macros
  AC_C_RESTRICT, AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.

** AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST
  Works again.

** AC_FUNC_MKTIME
  Now checks that mktime is the inverse of localtime.

** Improve DJGPP portability
  The Autoconf tools and configure behave better under DJGPP.

** Present But Cannot Be Compiled
  New FAQ section dedicated to the mystic

    configure: WARNING: pi.h: present but cannot be compiled
    configure: WARNING: pi.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
    configure: WARNING: pi.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
      messages.

** Concurrent executions of autom4te
  autom4te now locks its internal files, which enables concurrent
  executions of autom4te, likely to happen if automake, autoconf,
  autoheader etc. are run simultaneously.

** Libtool
  Use of Libtool 1.5 and higher is encouraged.  Compatibility with
  Libtool pre-1.4 is not checked.

** Autotest
  Testsuites no longer rerun failed tests in verbose mode; instead,
  failures are logged while the test is run.

  In addition, expected failures can be marked as such.
