Subject: Unable to build e2fsprogs 1.42.11 on RHEL 5

I'm unable to build the latest e2fsprogs on RHEL 5, since it returns an
error running autoconf:

  autoconf
  aclocal.m4:3095: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required
  aclocal.m4:3095: the top level


The "2.60" version is explicitly checked in aclocal.m4, and changing it
to "2.59" (as is shipped with RHEL5) results in more errors:

  autoconf
  configure.in:903: warning: AC_PROG_MKDIR_P is m4_require'd but is not
m4_defun'd
  configure.in:903: AC_PROG_MKDIR_P is required by...
  aclocal.m4:3292: AM_PO_SUBDIRS is expanded from...
  configure.in:903: AM_PO_SUBDIRS is required by...
  aclocal.m4:626: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is expanded from...
  configure.in:903: the top level
  [etc]

It looks like this was added in commit 93613951 "aclocal.m4: update to
newer
versions of autoconf macros".  Was there a particular reason for that
change
(there is no explanation given in the commit message)?  I tried reverting
that patch to build on RHEL5 again, and it also appears to work on RHEL6,
but
there may be issues with newer autoconf versions...

Cheers, Andreas
