Good to hear. If you do find yourself with a little extra time, a really useful thing to do is diff each package's config.h as generated by 2.72e with config.h as generated by an older version of autoconf. Differences are not necessarily bugs but they are worth investigating. > I did see 3 failures from "gmake check" with autoconf-2.72e, which I > reported separately to bug-autoconf: > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2023-12/msg00156.html Will follow up there. zw
