ah, it's unfortunate this misinformation has been spreading.  you do not ne=

autoconf-2.69 to support aarch64.  in fact, it has nothing to do with=20
autoconf.  you just need up-to-date GNU config snapshots.  if anyone tells =
you=20
different, you should also tell them to stop spreading such misinformation =
:).

in Gentoo, we do this by grabbing snapshots from the GNU config projects an=
d=20
then linking all versions of automake & libtool to that.  a quick check on =
a=20
Debian box shows that they do a similar thing.

so just run `autoreconf -f -i` like normal.  then grep for aarch64 in the=20
config/config.{sub,guess} files.  if you see some hits, then you're fine.  =
if you=20
don't, then you can update things manually on your end:

	git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/config.git
	for d in /usr/share/automake*/ /usr/share/libtool/config ; do
		sudo cp config/config.{sub,guess} $d/
	done

don't worry about clobbering your installed files.  these config.{sub,guess=
}=20
fragments are completely standalone.
