7.1.4-gcc43.patch

Fixes the configure system.

config.log

The specific error messages. I'll mail upstream and point them at this bug.
Debian are just patching $S/configure, but that's not the Correct and
Authorized way to do it. Especially when we're doing eautoreconf.

The patch is valid and work. Only, I seem to have stepped in some libtool foo.

Hrmmph...
This is the problem I ran into.
*** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.26, ltmain.sh = 1.5.22) ***

I solved it by adding these lines to the ebuild, right after eautoreconf:
        for oldltmain in $(grep -l 1.5.22 `find ./ -name 'ltmain.sh'`) ;do
                cp config/ltmain.sh ${oldltmain}
        done

Not pretty, but it works.

On the lam mailing list I was referred by this post:
http://www.lam-mpi.org/MailArchives/lam/2008/04/13673.php
to this patch:
http://www.lam-mpi.org/MailArchives/lam/att-13641/m4-sq-brackets.patch
Which does the same, only better.

Just added the fixes to cvs for this, should hit the mirrors soon.  I don't
have gcc-4.3.0 on any machines to test against so please reopen if you hit any
problems.

Thanks for the patch and report.  Extra thanks for emailing upstream :)
