I did the upgrade for GCC put the result in a branch on the forge (https://forge.sourceware.org/pietro/gcc.git branch upgrade-autotools). I also did the the upgrade for binutils-gdb tree and put it in a branch on the forge too (https://forge.sourceware.org/pietro/binutils-gdb.git branch upgrade-autotools). So far I did only some basic testing. The patch at the tip of that branch has a changes to libiberty configure.ac that I still need to sent for review. One point that came up in the discussion about this upgrade in the GCC mailinglist[1] is that binutils requires C99. So I want to make sure we aren't regressing there. What kind of testing should be done? Are other people able to help here, specially for targets that don't use the GNU toolchain? Thanks, Pietro * Automake 1.20 was just released. But I haven't looked into the release notes and I won't try to upgrade to it unless someone knows of good reason for it.
