Howdy, all!
Whenever I do a "git status" after cleaning up after a build, I learn that the
files
build-aux/config.guess
build-aux/config.sub
have been modified. It's easy enough to do a "git restore" on them, but should
they should actually be checked in? I thought they were supplied by the autotools?
This issue has been discussed earlier
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-05/msg00130.html), but
without conclusion.
There was a conclusion, from my POV:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-05/msg00187.html
To make it more clear, this is an Autoconf misfeature, and if someone
wants to report a bug, it should be reported to the Autoconf
developers; we here have nothing we can do about this kind of
"progress".
