I've just tried to compile emacs using autoconf-2.52 with the new
patches, and things break slightly because of the following line in
`configure.in':
configuration=$host_alias
The problem is that in autoconf-2.13, `host_alias' was always set, if
not by the user via the configure command line, then by autoconf using
config.guess. In autoconf-2.52, on the other hand, host_alias is only
set if the user actually specifies a host on the configure command line.
Among other things, this leads to `exec-directory' having the wrong
value, so describe-variable/function don't work.
I changed it to:
configuration=${host_alias:-$host}
which seems to solve the problem for me, but I'm not entirely sure if
it's the correct fix (is there really any reason not to just use $host
unconditionally?).
