bug#1859 and autoconf

[Boriss Mejias]

Dear hackers,

In the incoming bug reports, there is a contribution of Marc Hougardy 
related to macosx running in intel (see bug#1859). It is about a small 
fix in ozplatform.sh and emulator/configure. I have no way to test it, 
but if nobody disagree I will commit it to the CVS.

Then, a related issue is the reconf.sh script that is used to modify the 
configure files using configure.in and aclocal.m4. It works with 
autoconf 2.13, but it is not compatible with autoconf 2.5X, which are 
the series that are mostly used now. One thing is that the -l option is 
not valid any more, but I guess that the new one equivalent is -B. I 
tried this, but I'm getting several warnings about variables set in 
configure.in files, and finale the configure generated is not runnable.

Is anyone familiar with the process of migrating from autoconf 2.13 to 
2.5X ?

Does anybody disagree committing the fix to bug#1859?


cheers
Boriss
