Why Haiku using old-old autoconf and libtool in the buildtools (
https://git.haiku-os.org/buildtools )? I does not mean the "legacy"
folder!
- Our autoconf is 2.61, but the latest version is 2.69 (it is a 6 years
long span between the two version)
- Our libtool is 1.5.2, while the latest is 2.4.6 (almost 10 years long
span)
- Our isl is 1 year old.
I swapped these softwares to the latest version, and tried to make a test
build on OSX, but i got some errors at configuring binutils (i have no
problem with the original in-tree version). So it seems, there is some
not-upstreamed Haiku specific patches and mods in these softwares. IT
would be great to upstream these changes (if any), and update the in-tree
softwares to the latest version.
