[wdiff-bugs] Bug#744370: wdiff: Use dh-autoreconf to update config.{sub, guess} and {libtool, aclocal}.m4 (fwd)

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

I received this report from the Debian bug system.

Short summary: wdiff needs newer config.sub and config.guess to
support new archs.

I will update those files in the Debian package (not exactly what the
report suggest, which is to update them at build time), but maybe
making one release a year would make this not needed at all.

Thanks.

Dear maintainer(s),

New ports in preparation (arm64/aarch64, openrisc/or1k, ppc64el)
require updates to config.{guess,sub} or {libtool,aclocal}.m4 files.

dh-autoreconf can be used to get new libtool macros (needed now for
ppc64el) and update config.{sub,guess} for new arches (arm64/aarch64
and openrisc/or1k).  See the following URL for more information:
