In my upcoming work on IPv6 for tftp/tftpd I need to add three functions
to libinetutils. Thus I need to perform a reconfiguration also on OpenBSD.
The failure of autoreconfiguration was to my eyes identical for OpenBSD
with inetutils-1.8 as with git-HEAD, so I just the released version
to get a clean point for reporting this observation.
There are no problems in GNU/Linux, but OpenBSD makes jests on me.
As a work around I manually push the three helper functions into
"src/tftp.c" when testing on OpenBSD, but I would of course prefer
to drop that extra work. The helper functions will be necessary
also for the services beyond tftp/tftpd when I implement IPv6
also there.
Ah, OK.

OpenBSD 4.6 (released November 2009) has autoconf-2.62 and
automake-1.9.6 prepackaged in the repository, and no later
version. Therefore I will have to install any later helper software
myself. I find November 2009 recent enough that I expected the
existent helper software to work without fuss.
Alas we require automake 1.11 or later. What you can do is do the
autoreconf run on GNU/Linux, and copy the result to the OpenBSD
machine and run ./configure etc there, not pretty but should do.
As a side note, automake 1.9.6 is from 2005, so it is 5 years old by
now, it contains a security bug so the OpenBSD folks really should
update. See CVE-2009-4029.
You _could_ try to frob the version number in configure.ac to refer to
1.9, but I can't promise that it will work.
