Re: compiling error

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   >From cvs sources at sources.redhat.org I also have compile problem:
   $ mkdir build
   $ mkdir root
   $ cd build
   $ ../configure --prefix=/src/libc/root

Please don't do that, you will have screwed up paths and your libc
will be totally unusable if you install it, you must use `--prefix='
on GNU/Hurd, and then supply installroot (or install_root, I don't
remeber which) to `make install' if you want to install it in a
different root.

   autoconf: Undefined macros:
   ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_FD_MSG
   make[1]: *** [sysdeps/i386/elf/configure] Error 1
   make: *** [all] Error 2

I have no idea what you are using or doing wrong,
sysdeps/i386/elf/configure (or the .in file) doesn't contain any kind
of reference to AC_FD_MSG.  What are the lines about this error?
