Peter, could we get the daily snapshot to be bootstrapped with Automake
1.10 and Autoconf 2.61?  Thanks.

Until then, I guess you, Martin, need to bootstrap before testing.
Alternatively, assuming that you have up to date copies of config.guess
and config.sub in the directory $config_sources, you could do something
like
  find libtool-2.1a -name 'config\.*' -exec \
       cp $config_sources/config.* \{\} \;

and retest.  For 2.1a, there is only one instance of the config.* files
anyway, so you can just replace them manually.

What 'make' did you then use on Interix, and where can I get
documentation for it?
