Thanks.  After I wrote, I installed private copies of the latest versions
of autoconf and automake.  However, I still have a number of problems
with yesterdays cvs:

1) There were two problems building on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20.  The
   compilation of stat.c failed because STRUCT_STATVFS was defined
   to `struct statvfs' but sys/vfs.h was included instead of
   sys/statvfs.h.  There was also an error running the perl
   script extract-magic using perl 5.005_03.  I enclose the hacks
   which I made to work around these problems below.  The perl fix
   probably isn't correct but it seemed to work.  The file fs.h
   probably got rebuilt because of a timestamp problem.

2) On vax-dec-ultrix4.3 (I wanted to see if the stat.c fix worked),
   I hit the error:

   cd .. && /bin/sh /xxx/gnu/coreutils-5.0.1/config/missing --run aclocal-1.7 
-I m4
   aclocal: macro `AM_STDBOOL_H' required but not defined
   make: *** [../aclocal.m4] Error 1

   Automake 1.7.5 doesn't seem to define AM_STDBOOL_H.  Which package
   provides this automake macro?
