The new patch in itself makes the bootrapping successful without further changes to configure.ac of Inetutils. That being said, I inserted the mac= ro AC_PROG_EGREP as recently as January 11th. And immediately it discloses my ignorance of many details, sigh! In contrast, our AC_ISC_POSIX sits fixed since 2005, but does not interfe= re visibly (beyond the error log copied last time) with the advent of your m= ost recent change. Nonetheless, I will move it to a position where other libraries are probed. Thank you for your most illuminating comments! Regards, Mats E A
