ups, I overlooked this fact. Then I don't mind.
I wonder how those admins compile GCC :)
Out of curiosity: What do you mean? I don't have autogen on the two boxes where I regularly compile gcc ... and it works. It is probably only needed if you do fancy things, or isn't it?

Guys, thanks to the standard ./configure --prefix=...... make make install sequence if one is persistent enough, he/she can build everything from scratch not having root permissions. I have even automated the process in my AppsFromScratch; 'ginac' is built among many other targets. Gnu autotools are also built, as well as 'gcc'. So, in this subthread you are not discussing a critical issue (presence/absence of GNU autottols), but rather an issue of convenience. Regards, Sergei.
