Hm.
Well. I guess I need to downgrade my stuff.

Finally getting to run the script changes so many things that I actually think it's better for me to just surgically change what's needed and then say I "regenerated" it. The new run of automake changes like 18 different files that I did not touch at all.

@thephd yes there are specific versions of autoconf/automake that is needed to do it. It is listed in the install guide the exact versions. Oh you want the unmodified (the distros usually add patches)versions.

@thephd no you don't need to downgrade anything, just install the necessary versions in some other location and add it earlier in your PATH when regenerating GCC configs. You don't need to touch the existing versions you have.
