        * getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT_CHECK_HEADERS): Do not override the results
        of gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE.  That way, if both gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE

        (gl_GETOPT_IFELSE, gl_GETOPT_CHECK_HEADERS): New macros.
        (gl_GETOPT): Use the new macros.  Most of the implementation
        is moved to the new macros.  This is for programs like Emacs
        that don't want all the functionality of gl_GETOPT.

2005-07-26  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * lock.m4: Update from GNU gettext.

2005-07-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * argp.m4 (gl_ARGP): Remove invocation of gl_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO.

        Quote operand of "test -f".
        Say "recent enough" version of libc, not "version 2".
        (gl_PREREQ_REGEX): Remove AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, since alloca is a
        prerequisite module.  Remove AC_HEADER_STDC; no longer needed.
        Check for locale.h, isblank, mbrtowc, wcrtomb, wcscoll.
        Remove check for btowc, isascii.

        HAVE_LONGLONG_64BIT.

2005-03-14  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * lib-link.m4, gettext.m4, nls.m4, po.m4:
        Update from GNU gettext 0.14.3.

2005-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * save-cwd.m4 (gl_SAVE_CWD): Check for fchdir.

2005-03-07  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * mmap-anon.m4 (MAP_FILE, MAP_FAILED): Remove definitions.

2005-03-03  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * inttypes.m4, isc-posix.m4, once-only.m4:
        Use an all-permissive copyright notice, recommended by RMS.

2005-03-03  Derek R. Price  <derek@ximbiot.com>

        * mmap-anon.m4: New file.
        * pagealign_alloc.m4: New file.

2005-01-28  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * stpncpy.m4 (gl_FUNC_STPNCPY): Undo the replacement here. Because of
        AIX, the replacement has to be done only after <string.h> is included,
        therefore not in config.h. stpncpy.h does the replacement, and
        stpncpy.c uses it.

2005-03-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * xnanosleep.m4 (gl_XNANOSLEEP): Remove configuration attempting
        to detect nanosleep bug.

2005-02-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * gethrxtime.m4, xnanosleep.m4: New files.
        * gettime.m4 (gl_GETTIME): Check for nanotime.

2005-02-24  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * gettext.m4, intdiv0.m4, intmax.m4, inttypes-pri.m4, lcmessage.m4:
        * lib-link.m4, lib-prefix.m4, nls.m4, po.m4, printf-posix.m4:
        * progtest.m4:
        Update from GNU gettext 0.14.2.
        * glibc2.m4: New file, from GNU gettext 0.14.2.

2005-02-22  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>

        * iconvme.m4: New file.

2005-02-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * extensions.m4 (gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS): Revert yesteday's change.
        Thanks to Bruno Haible for catching it.

2005-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * extensions.m4 (gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS): Fix typo: s/ifndef/ifdef/.

2005-02-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * memrchr.m4 (gl_FUNC_MEMRCHR): Add AC_LIBSOURCES, for memrchr.h.

2005-01-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Sync from coreutils.
        * getloadavg.m4, glibc.m4, search-libs.m4: Remove.

        Remove files that are specific to coreutils.
        * check-decl.m4, jm-macros.m4, lib-check.m4, prereq.m4: Remove.

2005-01-28  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * javacomp.m4: New file, from GNU gettext.

2005-01-26  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * javaexec.m4: New file, from GNU gettext.

2005-01-24  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * sysexits.m4 (gl_SYSEXITS): Reverted logic. SYSEXITS_H
        must be defined if the header file was not found, in order
        to provide a replacement. Reported by Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org>

2005-01-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2005-01-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * save-cwd.m4 (gl_SAVE_CWD): Remove check for fcntl; we now assume it.

2005-01-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Merge from coreutils.
        * ullong_max.m4: New file.
        * jm-macros.m4 (gl_MACROS): Require gl_ULLONG_MAX.
        (gl_MACROS): Assume localeconv exists.

2005-01-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Merge from coreutils.
        * chdir-long.m4, openat.m4: New files.
        * save-cwd.m4 (gl_SAVE_CWD): Add AC_LIBSOURCES for save-cwd.c,
        save-cwd.h.  Add AC_LIBOBJ for save-cwd.
        * chown.m4 (gl_FUNC_CHOWN): When cross-compiling, assume that chown
        is sane and DOES follow symlinks.  Besides, testing 20 different
        systems found no broken chown implementations.
        Prompted by a change in rsync's copy of this macro.
        * jm-macros.m4 (gl_MACROS): Require gl_FUNC_CHDIR_LONG.

        * lchown.m4 (gl_FUNC_LCHOWN): Use AC_LIBSOURCES.

        * utimes.m4: Work around tests/touch/empty-file failure on a system
        (sparc64, Linux-2.4.28, glibc-2.3.3) that didn't honor utimes'
        NULL-means-set-to-current-time semantics.
        Remove temporary file immediately, rather than waiting
        for configure's at-exit trap code to do it.

2005-01-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Changes imported from coreutils.
        * mkstemp.m4 (gl_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Rather than using "conftestXXXXXX"
        as the mkstemp template, use a temporary directory and an
        8.3-friendly template to avoid trouble on systems like DJGPP.
        Reported by Juan M. Guerrero via Stepan Kasal.
        * (gl_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Include <unistd.h> for the declaration of close.
        Remove the temporary directory right away, rather than waiting
        for configure's at-exit trap code to do it.
        Suggestion from Stepan Kasal.

2004-12-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * c-strtod.m4 (gl_C99_STRTOLD): New macro.

2004-12-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * getdate.m4 (gl_GETDATE): Remove AC_FUNC_ALLOCA.

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Fix typo in previous change:
        spurious "-l"s.  Problem reported by Stepan Kasal.

2004-12-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): New macro, to work around bug
        in Autoconf 2.59.  Problem reported by Mark D. Baushke.

2004-12-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Changes imported from coreutils.
        * hard-locale.m4 (gl_HARD_LOCALE): Assume locale.h and setlocale
        exist.
        * human.m4 (gl_HUMAN): Assume locale.h and localeconv exist.

2004-11-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * getcwd-path-max.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETCWD_PATH_MAX):
        Define HAVE_PARTLY_WORKING_GETCWD if getcwd is partly working.

        * readutmp.m4 (gl_READUTMP): Don't check for sys/param.h.

2004-11-30  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>

2004-11-30  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>

        * restrict.m4: Add copyright and copying conditions.

2004-11-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * getcwd-path-max.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETCWD_PATH_MAX): Renamed from
        GL_FUNC_GETCWD_PATH_MAX for consistency.  All uses changed.
        Use the _ONCE methods, for efficiency.
        Check for fcntl.h.  In test program, include <errno.h>
        and <fcntl.h> if available.  Remove old K&R cruft from
        test program.  Check for common errors in GNU/Linux,
        OpenBSD, and Solaris.  Just set gl_cv_func_getcwd_path_max;
        don't do AC_LIBOBJ, as that's getcwd.m4's job.
        * getcwd.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETCWD_NULL): Renamed from
        AC_FUNC_GETCWD_NULL.  All used changed.  Change cache variable
        name accordingly.

        that's all we need now.

2004-11-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * utimens.m4 (gl_UTIMENS): Check for futimes function.

2004-11-23  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * argp.m4 (gl_ARGP): Require gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE unconditionally:
        argp-parse.c depends on getopt internals, that means we should
        always use our getopt, to be on the safe side.
        * getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT): Check if GETOPT_H is already set, in
        order not to spoil the result of an eventual previous invocation
        of gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE.

2004-11-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * calloc.m4 (_AC_FUNC_CALLOC_IF): Check for buggy calloc implementations

        * canon-host.m4 (gl_CANON_HOST): Check for getaddrinfo.

        * jm-macros.m4: Do require gl_FUNC_FPENDING.

2004-11-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE): Define __GETOPT_PREFIX instead
        of replacing opterr, getopt, etc.  This should handle the
        powerpc-apple-darwin5.5 problem recently noted by Simon Josefsson.

2004-11-11  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>

        * strtok_r.m4: New file.

        gl_FUNC_STRFTIME.
        (gl_FUNC_STRFTIME): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE and AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE
        and AC_REQUIRE when possible, to avoid duplicate checks.
        Check for <wchar.h>.

2004-11-09  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

2004-11-03  Albert Chin <china@thewrittenword.com>
            Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * uint32_t.m4 (gl_AC_TYPE_UINT32_T): When determining uint32_t
        equivalent, substitute $ac_type for equivalent type rather than
        blindly using uint32_t *always* which won't work if uint32_t is not
        available.  Define _UINT32_T to work around typedef of uint32_t if
        <sys/sched.h>, <pthread.h>, or <semaphore.h> used on Solaris
        2.5.1.

2004-11-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * jm-macros.m4: Sync from coreutils.

        fputs_unlocked, putc_unlocked.

2004-10-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2004-10-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT): Detect and reject the incompatible BSD

        Check for program_invocation_name, program_invocation_short_name,
        flockfile, funlockfile, features.h, _getopt_long_only_r.

2004-08-12  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>

        * getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE): New macro,
        as discussed with Paul Eggert in threads rooted at
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2004-06/msg00039.html>
        and

2003-08-31  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>

        * timegm.m4: New file.

2003-08-26  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * fnmatch.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): Remove AC_DEFINE of fnmatch here.
        This avoids havoc on compilers for which '#define fnmatch rpl_fnmatch'
        followed by '#define fnmatch fnmatch_posix' gives an error.

2003-08-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * mkstemp.m4: Require that the system mkstemp be able to create
        70 temporary files, not just 30.  Tru64 V4.0F's mkstemp function
        would fail after 32.  Reported by Danny Levinson.  Details here:

2003-08-20  Karl Berry  <karl@gnu.org>

2003-08-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * getloadavg.m4: Use [\t ], not [ \t] (where \t is a literal TAB).

        * utimes.m4 (gl_FUNC_UTIMES): New file.
        * utimes.m4: Removed.
        * utimes-null.m4: Renamed from utimes.m4.

        * c-stack.m4 (AC_SYS_XSI_STACK_OVERFLOW_HEURISTIC): Limit stack size
        to 1MB, so as not to render systems with no stack size limit (e.g.,
        linux-2.2.x) unusable.  Suggestion and code from Bruno Haible.
        Include <unistd.h>.  On some systems,
        it is required for the definition of _SC_PAGESIZE.

2003-08-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Merges from coreutils, etc.
        * rpmatch.m4 (gl_PREREQ_RPMATCH): Insert ':' to prevent a syntax
        error in gl_FUNC_MATCH.  This fixes a bug I introduced on 2003-05-28.
        * readlink.m4 (gl_PREREQ_READLINK): Renamed from gl_PREREQ_READLINE,
        fixing a typo.
        * host-os.m4 (UTILS_HOST_OS): Add GNU/NetBSD, GNU/FreeBSD.
        * hash.m4 (gl_HASH): Use AM_STDBOOL_H, not AC_HEADER_STDBOOL.

2003-08-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
        and Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Merges from coreutils, etc.

        * jm-macros.m4 (AC_LANG_SOURCE(C)): New macro, undefine, then define
        using the latest version from cvs.  This avoids problems with #line
        directives using a vendor (Sun) compiler.
        (jm_MACROS): Bump prerequisite from 2.52g to 2.57.
        Don't set GETGROUPS_LIB here; now it's
        done via getgroups.m4's wrapper function.
        AC_SUBST OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS, OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS, and MAN here,
        rather than just in sh-util/configure.in, so that the
        now-shared-by-fileutils-and-textutils lib/Makefile.am are all the
        same.
        Use AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR(lib) to tell the new
        AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG where to find getloadavg.c.
        Require AC_FUNC_FTW, gt_INTTYPES_PRI, gl_CLOCK_TIME,
        UTILS_SYS_OPEN_MAX, GL_FUNC_GETCWD_PATH_MAX, GL_FUNC_READDIR,
        gl_FSUSAGE, gl_MOUNTLIST, AC_FUNC_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME.
        Remove code that is now done by the newly-required macros.
        Append $(EXEEXT) to DF_PROG.
        AC_LIBOBJ fchdir-stub if fchdir doesn't exist; similarly for fchown.
        Do not invoke or require the following here,
        since prereq.m4 or some gnulib .m4 now does this for us:
        gl_REGEX, UTILS_FUNC_MKDIR_TRAILING_SLASH, jm_BISON, gl_FUNC_MKTIME,
        jm_FUNC_LSTAT, jm_FUNC_STAT, jm_FUNC_REALLOC, jm_FUNC_MALLOC,
        jm_FUNC_NANOSLEEP, jm_FUNC_READDIR, jm_FUNC_MEMCMP,
        jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, jm_FUNC_PUTENV,
        jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOUMAX, jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOIMAX,
        AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME, AC_FUNC_VPRINTF,
        vb_FUNC_RENAME, UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEP, jm_FUNC_UTIME, AM_FUNC_GETLINE,
        AC_FUNC_OBSTACK.
        Do not replace the following functions, as this is now the job
        of some gnulib .m4: strcasecmp, strncasecmp, dup2, gethostname,
        getusershell, sig2str, strcspn, stpcpy, strstr, strtol, strtoul
        strpbrk, euidaccess, memcmp, rmdir, rpmatch, strndup, strverscmp,
        atexit getpass, strdup, getpagesize.
        Replace 'raise'.
        Do not check for the following functions, as this is now the job
        of some gnulib .m4: bcopy, canonicalize_file_name, fchdir, ftime,
        getcwd, getmntinfo, resolvepath.  But check for sysctl, setreuid,
        setregid.
        (jm_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Do not check for fenv.h.
        Check for sys/sysctl.h.
        (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Do not require AC_STRUCT_TM, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE,
        jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC.  Invoke gt_TYPE_SSIZE_T instead
        of checking for ssize_t ourselves.

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Don't invoke macros; AC_REQUIRE them.
        Require every macro that gnulib/modules/* suggests for us.
        (jm_PREREQ_ADDEXT): New macro.
        (jm_PREREQ_STAT): Check for 'struct statfs' on Ultrix 4.4.
        Require jm_AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG instead of invoking it.

        * physmem.m4 (gl_SYS__SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION): New macro.
        (gl_PHYSMEM): Use it.
        Also check for `table' function.
        Check for new headers and functions.
        Add check for sys/sysmp.h.
        With suggestions from Kaveh Ghazi.
        Ignore headers that are present but cannot be compiled.  This
        avoids spurious warnings on Solaris 9 sparc with Forte Developer 7
        C 5.4.

2003-08-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Merges from coreutils.
        * readdir.m4 (GL_FUNC_READDIR): Change name to have GL_ (not jm_)
        prefix.  Adjust cache variables similarly.  Create 500 rather than
        just 300 files, to exercise bug on Darwin6.5, too.
        * perl.m4 (jm_PERL): Use $am_missing_run, not undefined $missing_dir.
        * jm-winsz1.m4: Require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS, not AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS.
        Reported by mkc@mathdogs.com.
        Also change use of $am_cv_sys_posix_termios
        to $ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.  Reported by Andreas Schwab.
        * getgroups.m4 (jm_FUNC_GETGROUPS): Rewrite to use AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS
        and (if needed) to call AC_LIBOBJ and to set GETGROUPS_LIB.
        * fsusage.m4 [__GLIBC__]: GNU libc's statvfs stats each mount point in
        /proc/mounts until it finds one with matching device number.  This is
        unnecessary when the FILE argument *is* a mount point.  No stat call
        is necessary in that case.  So, disable the statvfs-testing code on
        systems with GNU libc.  Reported by Andrei Gaponenko via Tim Waugh
        as RedHat bug# 84846.
        * c-stack.m4 (AC_SYS_XSI_STACK_OVERFLOW_HEURISTIC): Limit stack size
        to 1MB, so as not to render systems with no stack size limit (e.g.,
        linux-2.2.x) unusable.  Suggestion and code from Bruno Haible.
        Include <unistd.h>.  On some systems,
        it is required for the definition of _SC_PAGESIZE.

        * strftime.m4 (_jm_STRFTIME_PREREQS):
        Require gl_FUNC_TZSET_CLOBBER.
        * readutmp.m4 (gl_READUTMP): Check for ut_exit.ut_exit, ut_exit.e_exit,
        ut_exit.ut_termination, and ut_exit.e_termination members.

2003-08-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * gettimeofday.m4 (gl_GETTIMEOFDAY_REPLACE_LOCALTIME): New macro.

        * tzset.m4: Use it too.

2003-08-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Merge from coreutils.
        * tzset.m4: New file.
        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Move the MOUNTED_VMOUNT
        test to precede the MOUNTED_GETMNTENT1 tests, since otherwise, AIX 5.1
        systems would end up using the latter.  MOUNTED_GETMNTENT1 support
        is inadequate on such systems: 1) detecting whether a file system
        is remote doesn't work  2) the MOUNTED_VMOUNT code reports the
        HOSTNAME:/MOUNT_POINT, while the MOUNTED_GETMNTENT1 code reports
        merely /MOUNT_POINT.  Reported by Mike Jetzer.

2003-08-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * exclude.m4 (gl_EXCLUDE): Require AC_C_INLINE, AC_HEADER_STDC.
        Check for isascii.

        lib-prefix.m4, longdouble.m4, po.m4, progtest.m4, signed.m4:
        Undo previous (whitespace-only) change.

2003-08-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * gettext.m4, iconv.m4, intdiv0.m4, inttypes-pri.m4, lib-link.m4,
        lib-prefix.m4, longdouble.m4, po.m4, progtest.m4, signed.m4:
        Normalize leading white space and remove trailing white space.

        Merge from coreutils
        * euidaccess.m4 (gl_FUNC_EUIDACCESS): Check for euidaccess decl.

        * lib-ld.m4, lib-link.m4, lib-prefix.m4: Regenerate from gettext
        0.12.1.  These files are now being upgraded automatically by
        ../config/srclist-update.

2003-08-11  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * vasnprintf.m4 (gl_PREREQ_VASNPRINTF): Also check for wcslen.

2003-08-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * regex.m4 (jm_INCLUDED_REGEX): Change "\201" to "\371";
        apparently Emacs's Unicode mode got confused before my 2003-08-05
        checkin.

2003-08-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * extensions.m4: New file.
        * timespec.m4 (jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC):
        Require gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.
        * unlocked-io.m4 (jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO):
        Require gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS rather than AC_GNU_SOURCE.

2003-08-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * restrict.m4: New file.
        * regex.m4 (jm_PREREQ_REGEX): Add gl_C_RESTRICT.

2003-08-07  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * getndelim2.m4 (gl_GETNDELIM2): Use AC_LIBOBJ(getndelim2). This makes
        the module 'getndelim2' compatible with the module 'getline'.

2003-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * regex.m4 (jm_INCLUDED_REGEX): Replace a single non-ASCII
        byte with "\201" to avoid glitches when editing that source file
        with multi-gnome-terminal.

2003-07-31  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * getpass.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETPASS_GNU): New macro.

        * getndelim2.m4: New file.
        * getline.m4 (AM_FUNC_GETLINE): Add AC_LIBOBJ of getndelim2.c and
        invoke gl_PREREQ_GETNDELIM2.

2002-12-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Undo the 2001-07-02 change for jm-glibc-io, as it was too much of
        a pain in practice to deal with generated m4 files.  This change
        goes together with the 2002-12-04 unlocked-io.h change in ../lib.

        * Makefile.am.in (Makefile.am): Don't mention jm-glibc-io.m4n
        and jm-glibc-io.m4, as they are no longer a special case.
        * jm-glibc-io.m4: Rename from jm-glibc-io.m4n, and remove the
        kludge and the auto-generation stuff.  Check only whether the
        functions are declared, not whether they exist, since older hosts
        that don't declare the functions can't use the optimization anyway.

2002-07-06  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * README: Don't mention Makefile.am.in.
        Outline how I've tested changes to .m4 files.  Yep, it's a pain.

        (jm_MACROS): Rename: jm_FUNC_FNMATCH to AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU.
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_EXCLUDE): Likewise, wrt jm_FUNC_FNMATCH.

2002-05-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * gettimeofday.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY_CLOBBER): Also replace
        localtime.

        * readdir.m4 (jm_FUNC_READDIR): Undefine `rmdir' so we don't try to
        use the replacement function; it wouldn't resolve at link time.
        Reported by Volker Borchert.

2002-04-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Add jm_PREREQ_STAT.

2002-04-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HARD_LOCALE): Check for stdlib.h.
        Do not check for alloca.h (no longer used) or stdbool.h (was never
        used?).  Add AM_C_PROTOTYPES since hard-locale.h uses it.

2002-04-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_SIG2STR): Remove; all callers changed.

        Use AC_FUNC_STRNLEN here instead.

        * jm-macros.m4: Don't AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_CC_STDC]).
        With autoconf-2.53a, it's part of AC_PROG_CC.

2002-04-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Add AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(sig2str).
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Add jm_PREREQ_SIG2STR.

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HARD_LOCALE): New macro.
        (jm_PREREQ): Use it.

        * getloadavg.m4: Check for these headers: locale.h unistd.h

        Check for this function: setlocale.

2002-04-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        check for f_type in sys/mount.h.  Instead, just test for the existence
        of the getmntinfo function.  Needed for Darwin 5.3.

        * dirfd.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_DIRFD): Also detect when dirfd is a macro.
        This is necessary at least on Darwin 5.3.

        * jm-macros.m4: Don't AC_REPLACE(strnlen), now that we use
        AC_FUNC_STRNLEN.  Otherwise, we'd end up putting two copies of strnlen.o
        in the library, and that makes some versions of ranlib object.

2002-04-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * malloc.m4: (jm_FUNC_MALLOC): Change the `checking ...' message
        to be more precise.  Rather than saying we're checking whether the
        function `works', say what we're testing.
        * realloc.m4 (jm_FUNC_REALLOC): Likewise.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

2002-02-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Require AC_FUNC_ACL.
        Do not check for acl or sys/acl.h, as AC_FUNC_ACL does that now.

2002-01-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Use AC_FUNC_STRNLEN.

2001-11-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * mkstemp.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Don't bother with a temporary
        directory.  Use "conftestXXXXXX" as the template.
        Suggestion from Paul Eggert.

        * mkstemp.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Close each descriptor immediately,
        so the test doesn't mistakenly hit the max-open-files limit.

2001-11-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_TEMPNAME): Check for declaration of getenv.

        Prompted by a report from Bob Proulx.

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Don't test for mkstemp here.
        Instead, require UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEMP.

2001-11-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Remove code to set POW_LIBM.

        (AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK, AC_FUNC_STRTOD):
        Use these AC_-prefixed names, not the AM_-prefixed ones.

        * afs.m4 (jm_AFS): Quote the body.  Patch by Akim Demaille.

2001-11-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * fpending.m4: Remove unused cruft that saved, set, and restored $DEFS.

2001-11-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-glibc-io.m4n (jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO): Quote first arg
        of AC_DEFUN.

        * dirfd.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_DIRFD): Rework so dirfd.c doesn't have to
        know the name of the variable in the macro definition.

2001-11-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * dirfd.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_DIRFD): New macro.
        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Require UTILS_FUNC_DIRFD.

2001-10-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * error.m4 (jm_PREREQ_ERROR):
        Do not invoke AC_CHECK_FUNCS with strerror_r, as
        AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R does that.
        Check for strerror declaration.

        * strerror_r.m4: Add copyright notice, as nontrivial m4 files
        are supposed to have them these days.
        (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Always do char* test, so that it gets cached.
        Merge changes from latest Autoconf CVS.
        Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
        and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
        POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.

2001-09-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): See if
        `struct fsstat' has the `f_fstypename' member.
        Use that to define FS_TYPE, which is now used to make
        the getfsstat link test tighter.

2001-09-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS)
        [one-argument getmntent function]): Include stdio.h before mntent.h.
        SunOS 4.1.x needs it for the declaration of `FILE'.
        Patch by Volker Borchert.

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS)
        Check for these headers: sys/param.h sys/ucred.h sys/mount.h
        sys/fs_types.h, and make the link-test for getfsstat guard #include
        directives with appropriate #if HAVE_*_H tests so that we can
        detect getfsstat on Apple Darwin1.3.7 systems.
        Reported by Nelson Beebe.
        Fix harmless typo in cache variable name: s/getsstat/getfsstat/.

2001-09-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Fix bug reported by Petter Reinholdtsen for HP-UX 10.20, which
        #defines strtoimax.  Also treat the other strto* functions
        like strtoimax.

        * xstrtoimax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOIMAX):
        Check for strtoul and strtoumax,
        as those declarations are made even in the signed case.
        * xstrtoumax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOUMAX):
        Likewise, for strtol and strtoimax.

2001-09-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * gettext.m4: Use the version from gettext-0.10.40, not CVS.

2001-09-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Add a compile-test
        instead of the mere test for existence of mntent.h.  The latter
        would get a false-positive on AIX 3.4 systems.
        In the outer getmntent if-block, don't die if neither of the getmntent
        tests succeeds.  Instead, just fall through and continue with the
        remaining tests.

2001-09-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * gettext.m4: New file.  From gettext.
        * lcmessage.m4: Sync with gettext -- this changes only comments.
        * progtest.m4: Likewise
        * isc-posix.m4: Decrement serial number to sync with gettext.
        * glibc21.m4: Likewise.

        * libintl.m4: Remove.  No longer used.

2001-09-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * xstrtoimax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOIMAX): Check for declaration of
        strtoimax.
        * xstrtoumax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOUMAX): Check for declaration of
        strtoumax.

        * st_dm_mode.m4, stat.m4, strerror_r.m4, timespec.m4, utimbuf.m4,
        * utimes.m4: Use AC_DEFINE rather than AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED,
        whenever the right hand side need not be expanded by the shell.

2001-09-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * fnmatch.m4 (jm_FUNC_FNMATCH): Remove test for GNU C
        library.  It's not correct, as some older glibcs are buggy.
        fnmatch wasn't fixed until glibc 2.2.

        Use AC_DEFINE, not AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, as there's no
        special shell magic here.

2001-09-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * mkdir-slash.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_MKDIR_TRAILING_SLASH): New file/macro.
        * jm-macros.m4: Require it.

2001-09-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4: Check for help2man.

2001-09-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * host-os.m4 (UTILS_HOST_OS): New file/macro.
        The body, by Paul Eggert, was moved here from configure.in.

2001-09-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_XGETCWD): Check for limits.h and
        sys/param.h, as pathmax.h includes them.

2001-09-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Add jm_PREREQ_XGETCWD.
        (jm_PREREQ_XGETCWD): New macro.

        * getcwd.m4: New file.

2001-09-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Check for canonicalize_file_name.
        Used by df.

2001-08-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Simplify code, partly by assuming autoconf 2.52 semantics.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove uintmax_t.m4.

        * inttypes.m4 (AC_PREREQ): Bump to 2.52.
        (jm_AC_HEADER_INTTYPES_H): Remove; now done by autoconf in 2.52.
        All uses removed.
        (jm_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T, jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T):
        Move AC_REQUIRE to next-to-top level, to avoid confusion.
        Use 2.52's AC_CHECK_TYPE instead of merely looking for the header.
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Don't require jm_AC_HEADER_INTTYPES_H.
        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Likewise.

        * uintmax_t.m4: Remove, as it duplicates inttypes.m4.

        * xstrtoimax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOIMAX):
        Quote first arg of AC_DEFUN.
        Require jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T and jm_AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG
        since they are needed to parse the include file even if we need
        only xstrtoimax.  Simplify logic behind the args to AC_REPLACE.
        * xstrtoumax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOUMAX): Likewise,
        but with opposite signedness.

2001-08-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Add jm_PREREQ_EXCLUDE.
        (jm_PREREQ_EXCLUDE): New macro.

        * jm-macros.m4: Require jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOIMAX.

        * xstrtoimax.m4: New file.
        * xstrtoumax.m4: Add comments explaining why we
        AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(strtol).

2001-06-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * inttypes.m4: Add AC_PREREQ(2.13).
        (jm_AC_HEADER_INTTYPES_H): Test for intmax_t, too.
        (jm_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T): New macro.
        (jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T): Moved here from uintmax_t.m4.

2001-08-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4: Require autoconf-2.52.

2001-08-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        The following changes are from gettext 0.10.39 as maintained by
        Bruno Haible, except that getline.m4 continues to use AC_LIBOBJ.

        * codeset.m4: Upgrade to serial AM1.
        (AM_LANGINFO_CODESET): Renamed from jm_LANGINFO_CODESET;
        all uses changed.  Quote first arg of AC_DEFUN.
        (am_cv_langinfo_codeset): Renamed from jm_cv_langinfo_codeset.

        * iconv.m4: Upgrade to serial AM2.
        (AM_ICONV): Renamed from jm_ICONV; all uses changed.

        * getline.m4 (AM_FUNC_GETLINE): Don't bother checking for
        string.h any more.

        * progtest.m4 (AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST): If not found, print "no",
        not the default value.

        2001-06-25  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>
        * mbswidth.m4 (jm_PREREQ_MBSWIDTH): Don't require AM_C_PROTOTYPES.
        Also check for mbsinit.  Needed for SCO 3.2v5.0.2.
        Also include <string.h>; this is where AIX 3.2.5 declares wcwidth.
        Also check for iswcntrl, used for wcwidth fallback.
        Use AC_TRY_COMPILE to emulate AC_CHECK_DECLS, for portability
        to Autoconf 2.13.

2001-08-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * mbrtowc.m4 (jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Use `#include', not `@%:@include',

2001-07-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Makefile.am.in (Makefile.am): Remove most of the unlocked-io.h stuff.
        Now it's in ../Makefile.cfg.

2001-07-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Makefile.am.in (glibc-io.struct): New target.  Rework the code
        that generates jm-glibc-io.m4 so that it doesn't trigger any make
        distcheck failure.

2001-07-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        The following changes were prompted by suggestions from Bruno Haible.

        * jm-glibc-io.m4n: New file, the template from which jm-glibc-io.m4
        is now generated.
        * Makefile.am.in (Makefile.am): Include jm-glibc-io.m4n in emitted
        definition of EXTRA_DIST.
        (Makefile.am): Emit the dependency, `all-local: jm-glibc-io.m4' to
        ensure that the generated file is created/updated whenever the list
        of $(unlocked_functions) is changed.
        (jm-glibc-io.m4): New rule.
        (unlocked-io.h): New rule -- currently unused.

2001-06-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * regex.m4 (jm_INCLUDED_REGEX): Use a quadrigraph to represent an
        unmatched right bracket, rather than kludging it with an extra,
        falsely-matching quote in a comment.  Patch by Akim Demaille.

2001-05-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_READUTMP): Check for ut_type in struct utmpx.
        Check for ut_type in struct utmp.

2001-05-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * strftime.m4 (_jm_STRFTIME_PREREQS): Don't use AC_LIBOBJ(strftime),
        now that we use the package-supplied version unconditionally.
        (jm_FUNC_STRFTIME): Don't replace strftime, for the same reason.

2001-05-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * regex.m4: Change a couple backticks to single quotes to avoid shell
        syntax errors.

2001-05-19  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <duret_g@epita.fr>

        * dos.m4 (jm_AC_DOS): Check for _WIN32, __WIN32__, and __MSDOS__.

2001-05-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * strftime.m4 (jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME):
        Don't bother to check library strftime, since
        we'll be using our own my_strftime function anyway.
        Define my_strftime instead of strftime.

2001-05-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * regex.m4: Use proper quoting so brackets appear in the test program.
        Reported by, and with help from, Bruno Haible.

2001-05-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (major_t, minor_t): Define to unsigned int if undefined.

2000-11-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Do not check for fseeko; no longer used.

2001-04-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * rmdir-errno.m4: Write to a new file, so that a restrictive umask
        doesn't interfere.

2001-04-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <duret_g@epita.fr>

        * ftruncate.m4: Check for chsize.
        Link with ftruncate.o unconditionally if ftruncate is missing.
        This was required when cross-compiling to i586-mingw32msvc.

2001-03-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4: Require autoconf-2.49d.

        (jm_FUNC_MEMCMP): Adjust to use AC_FUNC_MEMCMP.

        * error.m4 (jm_PREREQ_ERROR): Invoke AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R.
        Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Add jm_PREREQ_TEMPNAME.
        (jm_PREREQ_TEMPNAME): New function.

2001-02-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Use mkstemp replacement if the system
        lacks mkstemp.  Compile our own tempname.c if we compile our own
        mkstemp.c, as mkstemp relies on tempname.

2001-03-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * dos.m4 (jm_AC_DOS): Remove extra backslashes, now that
        AH_VERBATIM really does output its argument verbatim.

2001-02-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Check for sys/resource.h.

2001-02-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Don't check for
        getmntent via AC_CHECK_FUNCS, since that would get a `no' and disrupt
        further attempts by AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT to check with e.g., -lgen on
        UnixWare 7.1.1.

        * mbrtowc.m4 (jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Adapt to use AC_CACHE_CHECK etc.,
        rather than AC_CACHE_VAL.

2001-02-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * mbrtowc.m4: New file, defining jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC.
        * mbswidth.m4 (jm_PREREQ_MBSWIDTH):
        Use jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC, not AC_CHECK_FUNCS(mbrtowc).
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): Likewise.

2001-02-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

2001-02-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4: Require autoconf-2.14d (not yet released), because
        it includes the patch required for `large file' support with at least
        HP-UX's 10.20 /bin/cc.

2001-02-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Restore prior use of
        AS_IF, now that it works once again (mysteriously).

2001-01-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Don't use filenames that are 8.3-equivalent to "conftest" on DOS.
        * chown.m4: Rename conftestchown to conftest.chown.
        * rename.m4: s/conftestdir/conftest.d1/ and s/conftestdir2/conftest.d2/.
        * utimes.m4: s/conftestdata/conftest.data/
        Inspired by Pavel Roskin's change in autoconf.

2001-01-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): Check for stddef.h, now that
        quotearg.c includes it.

2001-01-15  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * iconv.m4 (jm_ICONV): Also check whether the iconv declaration
        has const.

2001-01-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Be sure that headers are checked before used in code compiled
        for the type checks.
        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Remove all header checks.
        In place of that, invoke jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES.
        (jm_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): New functions with the above checks.
        (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require jm_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS.
        Alan Iwi reported a build failure on an f300-fujitsu-uxpv4.1_ES;
        The check for ssize_t was mistakenly run before the test for unistd.h.

        The configure-time check for stdbool.h was missing.
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Add jm_PREREQ_HASH.
        (jm_PREREQ_HASH): New function.

2001-01-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * fsusage.m4 (jm_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE): Use AS_IF, not AS_IFELSE,
        for autoconf-2.49c.
        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Likewise.

2001-01-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * rename.m4: Use temporary directories named conftestdir{,2}, not
        foo and bar.  Create conftestdir/ in the script, not in the C code.
        Remove directories in the script, not in the C code.
        Remove conftestdir{,2} before trying to create the directory.
        Make the entire configure script fail if the mkdir fails.

2001-01-02  Volker Borchert  <bt@teknon.de>

        * rename.m4: New file.

        expanding the value of $ac_aux_dir, as in AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN,
        so `make install' also works in VPATH builds.

2001-01-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_READUTMP): Include utmp.h (if available), even
        on systems with utmpx.h.  It's necessary for the declaration of utmp's
        ut_user member.  Reported by Andreas Jaeger.

        * check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Include grp.h and pwd.h if available.
        They are required for the declarations of getgrgid and getpwuid resp.
        (_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Check for grp.h and pwd.h.
        Reported by Andreas Jaeger.

2000-12-25  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <duret_g@epita.fr>

        * libintl.m4 (AM_WITH_NLS): When using AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR,
        prepend $(top_srcdir) to the value of MKINSTALLDIRS so that it
        can be used in subdirectories.

2000-12-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * dos.m4 (jm_AC_DOS): Rewrite (though it's still a stub) to work better
        with autoheader.

2000-12-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * dos.m4 (jm_AC_DOS): New file and macro.

2000-12-06  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * xstrtoumax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOUMAX): If we need the replacement
        strtoull, we may well need the replacement strtoul, too.
        Check for declarations of strtoul and strtoull.
        Check for strtol.  Mainly as a cue to cause automake to include
        strtol.c -- that file is included by each of strtoul.c and strtoull.c.
        Check for limits.h -- strtol.c needs it.

2000-12-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * off_t-format.m4 (OFF_T_PRINTF_FORMAT_STRING): New file/macro.
        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): require it.

2000-11-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * regex.m4: Use the `m4_' prefix on `syscmd' and `m4_sysval'.

2000-10-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * fsusage.m4: s/AC_SHELL_IFELSE/AS_IFELSE/ to match autoconf renaming.
        * ls-mntd-fs.m4: Likewise

2000-10-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Add jm_PREREQ_MEMCHR.

        * jm-macros.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add memrchr.

2000-09-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * getloadavg.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Restore the initial value of LIBS.
        Otherwise, everyone ends up linking with -lelf for some configurations.
        Reported by Mike Stone.

2000-08-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4: Use jm_FUNC_FPENDING.
        * fpending.m4: New file.

2000-08-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4: Include utmp.h `#if HAVE_UTMP_H', rather than
        `#if !HAVE_UTMPX_H'.  The latter would lose on systems with neither
        utmp.h nor utmpx.h.  Reported by Eli Zaretskii.

2000-08-11  J. David Anglin  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>

        Improve fileutils installation on systems where running
        programs (like install) can't be unlinked.
        * unlink-busy.m4 (jm_FUNC_UNLINK_BUSY_TEXT): New file/macro.
        * jm-macros.m4: Use jm_FUNC_UNLINK_BUSY_TEXT.

2000-08-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * mbstate_t.m4 (AC_MBSTATE_T): Define mbstate_t to be int,
        not char, for compatibility with glibc 2.1.3 strftime.c.

2000-07-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * mbswidth.m4 (jm_PREREQ_MBSWIDTH): Check for wcwidth declaration.

2000-07-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Check for declarations of these, too:
        getgrgid, getpwuid, getuid.

2000-07-16  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * mbswidth.m4: New file.
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Call jm_PREREQ_MBSWIDTH.

        * xstrtoumax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOUMAX): Require jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T.

2000-07-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        From a suggestion by Bruno Haible.
        * mbstate_t.m4 (AC_MBSTATE_T):
        Renamed from AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT.  All uses changed.
        Change from a two-part test, which defines both HAVE_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT
        and mbstate_t, to a single-part test that simply defines mbstate_t.
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): s/AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT/AC_MBSTATE_T/.

2000-07-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * strerror_r.m4: Mirror the correction made in autoconf.

        * gnu-source.m4: Output to confdefs.h directly.
        Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

2000-07-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Add a test to see if -lm is required
        to link seq.  If so, set SEQ_LIBM to -lm.  From Bruno Haible.

        * gnu-source.m4 (AC__GNU_SOURCE): New file/macro.
        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require it.

2000-07-05  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * strerror_r.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Pass a reasonably large buffer
        to strerror_r.
        Include <ctype.h> for use of isalpha.

2000-07-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
        and Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * mbstate_t.m4 (AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT): Test for mbstate_t
        only if the test for an object-type mbstate_t fails.  This
        prevents us from mistakenly reporting that mbstate_t is a
        system object type after we "#define mbstate_t int" to work
        around its lack.

2000-07-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * fsusage.m4 (jm_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE): Use plain old `echo' instead
        of the deprecated AC_CHECKING.

2000-07-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add strnlen.

2000-07-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * mbstate_t.m4 (AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT): Port to autoconf 2.13.
        Add AC_CHECK_HEADERS(stdlib.h), since we use HAVE_STDLIB_H.

2000-07-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * mbstate_t.m4: Also define mbstate_t, if necessary.

        * chown.m4: Replace each use of AC_SUBST(LIBOBJS)/LIBOBJS=... with
        AC_LIBOBJ(function_name).
        * chown.m4: Likewise.

2000-07-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4: Remove a `FIXME' comment and fix the associated
        problem.

2000-06-17  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4 (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Rename BeOS specific
        macro from MOUNTED_NEXT_DEV to MOUNTED_FS_STAT_DEV.

2000-07-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * uptime.m4: Put double quotes around use of $cross_compiling.

2000-06-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * mbstate_t.m4: Use stdlib.h, not stdio.h.  The latter is not included
        by quotearg.c, for which we perform this test.  From Bruno Haible.

2000-06-17  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * check-decl.m4 (_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Check for utmp.h as well.
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_READUTMP): Likewise. If either <utmp.h> or
        <utmpx.h> exists, put readutmp.o into LIBOBJS.

2000-06-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * mbstate_t.m4: Include stdio.h before wchar.h to work around
        Linux header bug when _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined to 500.

2000-06-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * strerror_r.m4: Revive this file -- to try out an experimental
        version of AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R that may work even on BeOS, a system
        for which strerror does return char*, but which lacks a conveniently
        accessible declaration of the function.  If the compile-test says
        strerror_r doesn't work, then resort to a `run'-test that works on
        BeOS and segfaults on DEC Unix.

2000-06-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * mbstate_t.m4: New file, defining AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT.
        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): Use it.  Add check for iswprint.

2000-06-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * afs.m4: Add missing AC_MSG_RESULT.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

2000-06-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Remove mkdir.

        * link-follow.m4 (jm_AC_FUNC_LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK): Change the
        `checking whether...' message to be consistent with that of the
        lstat test.

2000-06-16  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * glibc21.m4 (jm_GLIBC21): Define GLIBC21 for Makefiles, not for C.

2000-06-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * getloadavg.m4 (AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Replace with AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG
        from autoconf, and tweak the latter to accept an optional argument.
        * jm-macros.m4: s/AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG/AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG/, and supply
        the optional argument, `lib'.

2000-06-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * largefile.m4: Remove file (now that it's part of autoconf).

2000-06-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Rewrite largefile configuration so that we don't need to run
        getconf and don't need AC_CANONICAL_HOST.  [I'm leaving the use of
        AC_CANONICAL_HOST in configure.in -- jmm]

        * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS,
        AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SPACE_APPEND): Remove.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES): New macro.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Change arguments from
        CODE-TO-SET-DEFAULT to VALUE, INCLUDES, FUNCTION-BODY.
        All uses changed.
        Instead of inspecting the output of getconf, try to compile the
        test program without and with the macro definition.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Do not require AC_CANONICAL_HOST or check
        for getconf.  Instead, check for the needed flags by compiling
        test programs.

2000-06-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_DECLS,
        now that autoconf requires that.

        * jm-glibc-io.m4: Add a kludge to make autoheader emit the required
        #undefs.  E.g., #undef HAVE_DECL_FERROR_UNLOCKED.
        Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_DECLS, now that autoconf requires that.

2000-05-26  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * strerror_r.m4: Remove file (absorbed into autoconf).

2000-05-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

2000-05-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4: Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, now that
        autoconf requires that.

        * jm-macros.m4: Likewise.
        * strftime.m4: Likewise.

        * check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_DECLS,

        * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to
        be 500, instead of _GNU_SOURCE to be 1, to work around glibc
        2.1.3 bug.  This avoids a clash when files like regex.c define
        _GNU_SOURCE.

2000-05-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Save and restore LIBS around AC_SEARCH_LIBS
        call for clock_gettime.

        * check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add strndup.

2000-05-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Define _GNU_SOURCE if
        this is needed to make ftello visible (e.g. glibc 2.1.3).  Use
        compile-time test, rather than inspecting host and OS, to
        decide whether to define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE.

2000-05-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * fsusage.m4: Use AC_MSG_CHECKING instead of obsolete AC_CHECKING.

2000-04-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Get it right :-)
        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Emit the
        actual #define via AH_VERBATIM.  Don't need separate AC_DEFINE.
        Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

2000-04-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Use the one-arg form
        of AC_DEFINE.  Otherwise, the #ifndef in AH_VERBATIM gets clobbered.

2000-04-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) [_GNU_SOURCE]: Use new AH_VERBATIM
        to insert required #ifndef into config.h.in.
        Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

2000-04-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * getloadavg.m4 (AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS, not
        `AC_CHECK_HEADER' to check for locale.h.  Thanks to a report from
        Christian Krackowizer.

        More code moved from ../configure.in into (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES).
        * jm-macros.m4 (_GNU_SOURCE): Define.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Require.
        (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Require.

2000-04-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Don't use -n32 on
        IRIX if the installer said otherwise.

2000-04-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Portability tweaks required for ultrix4.3.
        * check-decl.m4 [!HAVE_UTMPX_H] (headers): Include <utmp.h>.
        (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Add getutent to the list of functions.
        (_jm_DECL_HEADERS): Add utmpx.h.
        From John David Anglin.

        * gettext.m4: Fix typo in comment.

        * codeset.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add langinfo.h (moved here from
        textutils/configure.in).  Suggestion from Paul Eggert.
        (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add nl_langinfo.  (also from textutils/configure.in)

2000-04-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * strftime.m4 (jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME): Set TZ environment
        variable in the shell rather than using putenv, which isn't
        portable.  This avoids the configure-time inter-test dependency
        on the potentially-renamed putenv function.

2000-03-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Include <sys/stat.h>
        before checking struct stat.st_blksize, so that
        HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLKSIZE is defined correctly.

2000-03-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * strftime.m4 (_jm_STRFTIME_PREREQS): Check for strftime,
        since strftime.c uses HAVE_STRFTIME to decide whether to use
        the underlying strftime.

2000-03-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib-check.m4: Look for getspnam in -lgen, too.

2000-03-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * timespec.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME before the cache check so
        the messages come out on separate lines.

        * jm-glibc-io.m4 (jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO): Use AC_CHECK_DECLS,
        rather than jm_CHECK_DECLARATIONS.
        * decl.m4: Remove now-unused file.

        * check-decl.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Add getlogin, ttyname, and geteuid.

2000-02-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4: Add getenv to the list.

2000-02-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4: Now that we have the new AC_CHECK_DECLS, use it
        in place of my hack.

2000-02-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * nanosleep.m4 (jm_FUNC_NANOSLEEP): Rename replacement function from
        gnu_nanosleep to rpl_nanosleep.

2000-02-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib-check.m4 (jm_LIB_CHECK): Fix typo: check for sp_pwdp in
        struct spwd, rather than in struct passwd.  Reported by Gaël Quéri.

2000-02-08  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Quote square brackets with
        `[' and `]' and remove uses of `changequote'.

        * gettext.m4 (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Likewise.

2000-02-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require most macros.
        Remove explicit use of AC_HEADER_TIME.  It is required by
        jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC.  Using AC_HEADER_TIME and
        `AC_REQUIRE'ing jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC provoked a but
        in autoconf whereby the expansion of the latter ended up preceding
        the expansion of its prerequisite, AC_HEADER_TIME.
        Reported by Volker Borchert.

2000-02-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_READUTMP): Check for utmpxname.

        Reported by Eli Zaretskii.

2000-01-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * check-decl.m4 (jm_CHECK_DECLS): Add nanosleep to the list of
        functions.  Add the time.h and sys/time.h headers along with the
        AC_REQUIRE'ment of AC_HEADER_TIME.

2000-01-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib-check.m4: Clean up some kludgy old shadow password tests.

        * prereq.m4 (utmp_includes): Define.
        Check for ut_user and ut_name members in both struct utmpx
        and struct utmp.

2000-01-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib-check.m4: New file containing library-related checks from
        fileutils and sh-utils (textutils had none).

2000-01-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * perl.m4: Change format of warning message to look more like that
        from the missing script.  Suggestion from François Pinard.

2000-01-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * timespec.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME, and include sys/time.h as well
        as time.h in the compile check.
        * nanosleep.m4: Require AC_HEADER_TIME rather than simply using it.
        Fix typo in cross-compiling case: s/yes/no/.

2000-01-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * jm-macros.m4: Move df-related tests here from fileutils/configure.in

        * ls-mntd-fs.m4: s/list_mounted_fs/ac_list_mounted_fs/
        (jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS): Take two parameters.

        * fsusage.m4: New file.  Extracted from fileutils/configure.in.
        s/space/ac_fsusage_space/.
        (jm_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE): Take two parameters.

        * jm-macros.m4 (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS, OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS, MAN):
        AC_SUBST these here, rather than just in sh-util/configure.in, so
        that the now-shared-by-fileutils-and-textutils lib/Makefile.am are
        all the same.
        (AM_FUNC_OBSTACK): Add (from fileutils/configure.in).
        (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Merge all checks from fileutils, textutils, sh-utils.

        configure.in
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Likewise for sh-utils.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Likewise for textutils.
        Merge the three lists of headers.

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_ADDEXT): New macro.  Parts moved here
        from fileutils' configure.in.

        * decl.m4: Remove kludgy `test -z $ac_...AC_CHECK_HEADERS(...)' code.
        Moved tests into their own function (_jm_DECL_HEADERS) in check-decl.m4.

        jm_FUNC_GETGROUPS AC_FUNC_VPRINTF, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA,
        AM_FUNC_GETLOADAVG, and jm_SYS_PROC_UPTIME.

2000-01-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * c-bs-a.m4: Use `changequote(<<,>>)', rather than `changequote(, )'
        because the latter didn't work.

        * jm-macros.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add gethostname and getusershell.

1999-11-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * const.m4: Remove file, since the fix made it into the experimental
        version of autoconf.
        * mktime.m4: Likewise.

        * check-type.m4: Remove file, now that the latest version of
        AC_CHECK_TYPE takes a third arg to specify additional #includes.

        * ssize_t.m4: New file, requires experimental version of autoconf.
        * jm-macros.m4: Use new AC_TYPE_SSIZE_T instead of my hacked

        changed to use the prefix AC_SYS_LARGEFILE instead, to be
        compatible with future autoconf versions.  Also, some minor m4
        quoting problems have been fixed.

1999-07-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * ulonglong.m4 (jm_AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG): Make sure
        that we can shift, multiply and divide unsigned long long
        values; Ultrix cc can't do it.

        * xstrtoumax.m4 (jm_AC_PREREQ_XSTRTOUMAX): Check whether
        <inttypes.h> defines strtoumax as a macro (and not as a
        function).
