Hi Bob,

Do
  cd tests
  env VERBOSE=x TESTS="acloca17.test java.test missing.test \
      missing2.test obsolete.test" make -e check

to see if all of those issues have been fixed since in the CVS.  But to
use that, you'd need both CVS Autoconf (or wait until 2.60 is out) and
at least this pending patch:

(maybe I should not wait for Alexandre but just apply it...)

Cheers,
Ralf
