If the autoconf generated files are too old the solution is easy: Rerun autoconf. But I don't really like to do that in debian/rules since it can also make things worse. SuSE for example run autoconf/automake/... automatically if files generated by those are detected during build time. We could do that as well but it happened to me that a source package which worked on SuSE 7.0 did not work on SuSE 6.4 and SuSE 7.1. The autoconf from 7.1 was to new and the one from 6.4 to old or something along that line. Can we equip our auto builders with some logic to update config.sub etc. automatically if the build fails and retry with the updated files? Just a though Torsten
