Subject: gdb and ancient GNU autotools

Hi,
In gdb source tree in config/override.m4 is hardcoded autoconf version
m4_if(m4_defn([m4_PACKAGE_VERSION]), [2.64],
That version has been released almost SIXTEEN YEARS AGO !!!
https://savannah.gnu.org/news/?id=5867
Literally NONE Linux distribution currently provides that version so in
case of any necessity to fix something in autoconf it is NOT POSSIBLE to
regenerate GNU autotools files.
The same situation is with binutils ang gcc.
Someone has been thinking about start update all that stuff to be able to
use the latest GNU autotools and/or start moving to cmake or meson (IMO
mesoon is better) arch/OS one by one (still living for other not migrated
archs/OSsess autotools until last arch/OS still in use will be not migrated
or abandoned)?🤔
