Why upgrading sucks

[Brian Jones]

I had to share my pain so I hope someone else finds this funny.
Tonight I updated to Red Hat 7.2 and afterwards applied the necessary
updates as noted by Red Hat.  Then I created RPMs of the newest
libtool, automake, and autoconf and installed those.  After twiddling
with the various files like updating ltmain.sh and adding depcomp
turns out that the Jikes I now have seg faults building our
source... so I'm going to sleep.  I'll install gcc 3.0.2 soon (in a
standalone fashion away from my current gcc) and presumably won't have
to deal with the Jikes problem.  Hopefully Eric Blake can shed some
light on this and offer a suggestion for what Jikes to use.
