they are fundamental tools for compile a system, gentoo patches quite |
| 36 |
everithing and so it must rebuild the configures and Makefiles script |
| 37 |
that it's distribuited in the original packages. |
| 38 |
To do do this emerge need to recompile other files that may be written |
| 39 |
for a particular version of automake or autoconf (as far as I know they |
| 40 |
are quite incompatible). |
