1.1     ! misho       1: In case you see a dump of your environment after running configure
        !             2: or config.status you might want to either:
        !             3: - downgrade to gettext-0.10.32 (maybe 33 or 34 will work too, but
        !             4:   i didn' test them)
        !             5: - upgrade to a newer autoconf version (there is none at the moment
        !             6:   of this writing - Oct 1998 - and i suspect this state will not
        !             7:   change soon)
        !             8: - patch your /usr/lib/acgeneral.m4 (see below).
        !             9: In any case you should rerun "aclocal" afterwards and 
        !            10: "configure" again.
        !            11: 
        !            12: Sorry for the trouble.
        !            13: --------------------------------------------------------------------
        !            14: 
        !            15: This little patch solves a problem i found using gettext-0.10.35.
        !            16: For some reason AM_GNU_GETTEXT (serial 5) calls 
        !            17: AC_LINK_FILES($nls_cv_header_libgt, $nls_cv_header_intl)
        !            18: with both variables being empty (at least on my redhat-5.1 
        !            19: system).
        !            20: This gives an config.status script like this one:
        !            21:        ac_sources=" "
        !            22:        ac_dests=" "
        !            23: 
        !            24:        srcdir=$ac_given_srcdir
        !            25:        while test -n "$ac_sources"; do
        !            26:          set $ac_dests; ac_dest=$1; shift; ac_dests=$*
        !            27:          set $ac_sources; ac_source=$1; shift; ac_sources=$*
        !            28: 
        !            29: "set ; ac_source=$1; shift; ac_sources=$*" produces some not
        !            30: so nice looking output ...
        !            31: 
        !            32: I think the right fix is something like that, but maybe Ulrich might want
        !            33: to try something else since autoconf seems to be basically unmaintained.
        !            34: 
        !            35: don't forget to rebuild your frozen m4 files:
        !            36:        cd /usr/lib/autoconf
        !            37:        m4 -F autoconf.m4f autoconf.m4
        !            38:        m4 -F autoheader.m4f autoheader.m4
        !            39: 
        !            40: Regards, Uwe
