Another egcs patch that might work...

Hi,

I think this patch is needed:

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get autoconf to work.  Everytime I run
it, it leaves a zero-length configure file.

Reading the egcs archives, it seems it needs a newer autoconf.  I
tried 2.12 and the Dec. 7th snapshot package from experimental.
Version 2.13 was just released, so perhaps I'll try that next.

Cheers,

 - Jim
