+       Renamed from AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT.  All uses changed.
+       Change from a two-part test, which defines both HAVE_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT

+       * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): s/AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT/AC_MBSTATE_T/.

+       * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Add a test to see if -lm is required

+       * jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require it.

+
+       * 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

+
+       * 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
