You should apply https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=326c9a547423d25c621bc5c0ef76edbf6eda8c92 as well, this fixes some serious regressions when using a C++ compiler to run tests. And you should be aware that if a configure script crashes with an error about not finding install-sh, this actually means you need to add config.sub and config.guess to the source tree as well. (A patch for that one is in the works. autoreconf --install will correct the problem for packages that use automake, but not otherwise.) I'm planning to put out another beta next week because of these bugs. (Sorry about the weird version numbering scheme, it's a very old GNU convention.) zw
