$ find . -name "configure"|\
	xargs grep 'Generated by GNU Autoconf' | grep -v 2.64

./gdb/gdbtk/configure:# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.
./gdb/gdbtk/plugins/configure:# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.cell/configure:# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/configure:# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.
./libgui/configure:# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.
