Wed Mar 20 09:37:31 1996  Roland McGrath  <[e-mail]>

    * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use \055 for -; leading and trailing
    both lose with some tr.

    * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Remove check for gcc 2.7 bug.
    RMS wants everyone to lose until gcc is fixed.

    * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Put - last in tr set so it is not
    considered a range.

    * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Add check for gcc 2.7 bug.
    From Paul Eggert and Jim Meyering.

    * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Apply Jan 15 fix to
     AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS here too: Match `#define foo' without trailing
     space in confdefs.h.  Before configure would lose if all its trailing
     whitespace got stripped, and that can happen in mail.

    Fatal configure error if no $CC found at all.

Mon Jan 15 15:57:36 1996  Roland McGrath  <[e-mail]>

    * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Match `#define foo' without

    all its trailing whitespace got stripped, and that can happen in mail.

Fri Jan 12 14:38:37 1996  Roland McGrath  <[e-mail]>

    * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP): Use "" instead of '' when setting
    ac_try; we need one level of expansion there for $ac_cpp, then

    * acspecific.m4 (AC_PATH_X, AC_PATH_X_XMKMF, AC_PATH_X_DIRECT):
    Rearrange logic: do no tests if $with_x=no; make incl and lib
    tests independent, and distinguish unset from empty.

    * autoconf.sh (undefined macro check): \ sed \s inside "".  If
    grep $name in $infile misses, give error message that there must
    be an Autoconf bug.

Tue Dec 19 10:49:20 1995  David J. MacKenzie  <[e-mail]>
