When I tried to compile his trunk version I get the error messages in the attached file over and over again and the make never seems to finish.
I just upgraded my autoconf/libtool and can now reproduce the broken behaviour on i686. I'm investigating now.
The culprit was libtool 2.2. Reverting autoconf 2.63 back to 2.50 or 2.13 did not help at all, but rebuilding 'configure' on Mac OS 10.4 with libtool 1.4 resulted in a working script. I committed that to the trunk, which will now build (on Linux/alpha too) but woe betide anyone who tries to rebuild configure on a recent OS! This is clearly an untenable situation. My displacement activity for the rest of this week may well be the eradication of libtool from the build system.
Many thanks to Richard for providing me with access to his DEC Alpha. I've made a Linux/Alpha binary available at squeakvm.org.
Cheers, Ian
