With current trunk I have this problem. This was introduced when the asan was merged into trunk. I thought that I should not have to rebuild any of the configuration files? I am building like this: $ cd gcc-trunk $ svn update At revision 193528. $ cd .. $ mkdir gcc-build $ cd gcc-build $ ../gcc-trunk/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc/gcc-trunk --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --enable-languages=c,c++,lto $ make -j8 make[6]: Entering directory `/home/lgb/Development/gcc/gcc-build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libsanitizer' CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd ../../../../gcc-trunk/libsanitizer && /bin/sh /home/lgb/Development/gcc/gcc-trunk/missing --run autoconf cd ../../../../gcc-trunk/libsanitizer && /bin/sh /home/lgb/Development/gcc/gcc-trunk/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign aclocal.m4:16: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.64.
