You're right in saying that I have to be more precise in explaining 
the problem but unfortunately I don't have my GNU Hurd machine here.

I rewrite the problem:

- I installed GNU-K5
- I wanted to recompile gnumach
- I checked out yesterday the gnumach-1-branch from savannah
- I ran
    $ ./configure --enable-ide --enable-floppy --enable-ne2000
    $ make
  and the make process stopped with an error (about a non-existing
  AC_... macro or something like this) while calling "autoconf". The
  version of autoconf on my GNU Hurd machine is 2.59.

My questions are:

- Was anybody able to compile gnumach-1.3 from gnumach-1-branch in the 
same environment I have?
   * GNU-K5 (gcc 3.3 + autoconf 2.59 + m4 1.4)

- What environment do I need to have to compile gnumach-1.x?

Thanks,
Paolo.
