[cobalt-users] MySQL 3.23.55 build FAILS

["Leslie Herps" <herps@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all

I try to recompile the SRPM for mySQL 3.23.55
I upgraded libtool (1.4.3), automake (1.7) and autoconf (2.57) to the latest
versions.

I STILL get the following errors when compiling:

rm -f config.status config.cache config.log

Does anyone have a clue? gcc is 2.95.x... (the default on a patched raq4)
Which on the mysql.com site is said to be good...
I tried so much, and I ran out of ideas...
