            Bug ID: 16948
           Summary: recent binutils/bfd release tarballs generated with
                    ancient autoconf version
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.24
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: maillist-gdb at barfooze dot de

the release tarballs of binutils 2.24 and gdb 7.6 were generated with an
ancient autoconf version (2.64), which causes long-fixed and nasty bugs (
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16370 gdb bug report ) to
reraise from the dead.

to prevent such breakage in the future we should test for and deny running
"make dist" successfully when the detected autoconf version is < 2.69.
