Hi,

I've just tried to do a fresh clone of the Octave repository (to get rid
of my old dangling heads and other relicts of hg experiments), but
running ./autogen.sh fails for me with:

build-aux/bootstrap: autoconf --force ...
configure:16107: error: possibly undefined macro: gl_REPLACE_FCLOSE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

I think this has nothing to do with Octave and internet searches point
me towards gnulib, but I wonder whether anyone else gets this, too --
and/or how to fix it.  Looking at the generated configure at this line
has just "gl_REPLACE_FCLOSE", but this macro doesn't show up in Octave's
configure.ac itself.

Yours,
Daniel

Fails for me, too.  This worked a day or two ago:

build-aux/bootstrap: libtoolize -c -f ...
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.
libtoolize: copying file `build-aux/ltmain.sh'

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

Anyone know what as gone wrong?
