Details:
I'm a developer for Chromebrew, a package manager for ChromeOS.
We've had a problem with most all configure scripts: `file` is expected at
`/usr/bin/file`, but ChromeOS doesn't ship with `file`, so we have to provide
it at `/usr/local/bin/file`. `./configure` scripts generated with `autoconf`
are unaware of this and, instead of looking for the location of `file`, raise
an error:
./configure: line 6712: /usr/bin/file: No such file or directory
This particular error is an example from the latest version of `libsigsegv`
I thought this was an `autoconf` bug, hence the bug report filed here
<https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?110549> but as it turns out, this
is trickling down from `libtool`, specifically the files `ltmain.sh` and
`libtool.m4`
Autoconf and libtool are both at latest versions (2.71 and 2.4.6
respectively)
As I've never reported a bug of this type, I don't know what other information
would be helpful (logs, etc.), so please don't hesitate to let me know.
