Autoconf 2.52 is the newest version of ``autoconf`` that does not need ``perl``, and hence
a bit easier to install.
This is not a full featured autoconf install, it is missing other programs such as ``autoheader``
but is sufficient to build autoconf 2.53.
automake 1.6.3
==============
GNU Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefile.in files. It is another major
part of GNU Autotools build system and consists of ``aclocal`` and ``automake`` scripts.
We bootstrap it using a 3 stage process:
We bootstrap it using a 2 stage process:
1. Use ``sed`` to replace a few placeholder variables in ``aclocal.in`` script.
Then we manually install ``aclocal`` script and its dependencies.
2. Patch ``configure.in`` to create ``automake`` file but skip ``Makefile.in`` processing.
Again we manually install ``automake`` script and its dependencies.
3. We now use ``aclocal``, ``autoconf``, and ``automake`` to do a proper build and install.

=============
We now properly rebuild ``autoconf`` using ``automake-1.4`` and manually installed ``autoconf``.

=============
An older ``autoconf`` will be necessary to build GNU Binutils.
autoconf 2.12

Yet another old autoconf version that we will need for some parts of GNU Binutils.
