somewhere around libtool-1.9b-ish libtoolize stopped installing config.{guess,sub} by default. this patch fixes four tests that assume the old behaviour. i'd also like to apply the patch in bug #222225 to fix subst.test. with these patches the whole testsuite passes again.
Created attachment 180872 [details, diff] automake-1.7.9-more-test-fixes.patch
Created attachment 180997 [details, diff] automake-1.7.9-more-test-fixes.patch and this keeps it from breaking with libtool-1.5
please move the comment to the patch header each if block can also be written: [ ! -e config.guess ] && libtoolize --install i'm thinking we should phase out these older automake versions anyways ... mask them and/or start restricting the test ...
okay, i wasn't sure if that was a bashism. then again, seeing as these tests will be run from portage it wouldn't matter. yes, restricting tests would be preferable if they aren't removed altogether. i'm guessing it won't be long until some other update breaks them again.
