24 This release was built with GNU automake 1.5 patched as follows:
25
26 2001-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
27
28 * m4/header.m4 (_AM_Config_Header_Index): Remove.
29 (AM_CONFIG_HEADER): Don't use it. It wasn't working, and was
30 causing needless rebuilds.
31
32 2001-09-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
33
34 * lib/am/distdir.am (REMOVE_DISTDIR):
35 New macro. Do not change permission of non-directories.
36 (distdir, dist, dist-bzip2, dist-tarZ, dist-shar, dist-zip, dist-all,
37 distcheck): Use it.

171 2001-09-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
172
173 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with
174 CFLAGS=-O4 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a
175 relaxed view of fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to
176 include libraries even when they don't exist.
177
178 * acheaders.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not
179 AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
180 need it.
181
182 * acspecific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
183 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
184 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use
185 -lcposix if we don't need it.
