Personally I do not mind requiring latest 4-STABLE to build -CURRENT (either for cross or simple `world'). I think that is all we can officially support. I know RU wants to be able to upgrade from say 4.1 to 5-CURRENT. I think that is a nice thing; but if it is going to be a requirement it should become an officially stated one. The only fix is to import all of libiberty and create a config.h that implies Version 7. > The problem is the usual one with committing files generated by > autoconfig. It would be the same problem without autoconf, the code could have been written only the the 5-CURRENT API. > This gives a configuration that might only be valid for the host > machine that ran autoconfig.
