Re: libtool problem

I think the problem must be with audacity.

I tried building several other packages with the new gcc, including orc 
from the GStreamer project that requires libtool to build and I made 
sure (in mock buildroot) that only the /opt/gnu/bin/libtool I built was 
available - and they compiled, passed test suites, etc.

It's audacity that has a problem - even the older version that builds 
with system gcc has same tag error when building against the newer gcc 
in /opt/gnu. So something about the macros does not seem to like gcc 
installed outside of /usr

autoreconf -fvi results in an error about undefined macros.

aclocal --force -I /opt/gnu/share/aclocal -I m4
autoconf

That results in a configure script but it produces the same tag error.

So I'm going to see if anyone on their list knows what the issue is 
because the gcc definitely works, even when autoconf and libtoolize are 
needed, in other software.

I'll figure it out, the errors from autoreconf at least give me some 
hints as to what in their build scripts may need patching.

Thank you for that tip.
