Re: [patch 00/39] pnet build system fixes

Hi Robert,

after applying the rest of the patches i'm getting the following errors:

1. my automake version is less than 2.61 (AC=5FPREREQ(2.61) change in libgc/=
libffi)

after undoing these changes i get this during configure of libffi:

./config.status: line 1050: ./../../config-ml.in: No such file or director=
y
configure: error: ./configure failed for libffi
