------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
This is an update to marco's patch and represents a complete update
of all of the autoconf files.  It also lets autoreconf work.

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2001-07/msg00340.html suggests
that getting rid of AC_PROG_CC_LOCAL and replacing it with
AC_PROG_CC is
correct.

We must use the three argument form of AC_DEFINE at least once or
autoheader emits messages similar to:

    autoheader2.50: warning: missing template: CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
    autoheader2.50: Use AC_DEFINE([CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT], [], 
[Description])
    autoreconf2.50: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1

The autoheader documentation says:

     In order to do its job, `autoheader' needs you to document all of
    the symbols that you might use; i.e., there must be at least one
    `AC_DEFINE' or one `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED' call with a third argument for
    each symbol (*note Defining Symbols::).

The only issue that this patch has is that I have had to disable the
options for the u1434f and viarhine drivers (in i386/linux/configure.ac)
as there is chokage on the dash in their linux name.  I don't know
what the correct fix is and defer to an autoconf guru.


Apply the patch by running:

$ cd gnumach-1-branch
$ mv i386/linux/{Drivers.in,configure.ac}
$ patch -p0 < autoconf.diff
$ autoreconf -f -i -s

Besides the patch from Marco, I had to do following to get gnumach cleanly 
configured.

I did make the changes Alfred proposed in his mail:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2004-02/msg00237.html

Jeff had some comments on my previous patch:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2004-01/msg00090.html

I did not change this because I do not have enough knowledge 
about autoconf.  Is the patch ok like it is now or should the 
patch be changed like Jeff said?  I need a bit more help in 
that case.

The NEWS entry was removed and so was the keyboard patch 
because it is already in CVS.
