            Bug ID: 3392822
           Summary: Is it intended that the most recent autoconf release
                    is required?
           Product: NASM
           Version: 2.16 (development)
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: OPEN
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Assembler
          Assignee: nobody at nasm.us
          Reporter: pushbx at ulukai.org
                CC: chang.seok.bae at intel.com, gorcunov at gmail.com,
                    hpa at zytor.com, nasm-bugs at nasm.us
     Obtained from: Built from git using configure

It is presumably introduced by
https://github.com/netwide-assembler/nasm/commit/8453bcfa6c9dd94ab3aad458f11739c491ff27cd
and
https://github.com/netwide-assembler/nasm/commit/b6151260a1d09a2e98f4d9074080e89fb6b3aa98

I found that trying to set up compilation of 2.16rc10 rejected our server's
autoconf 2.69, stating that it requires autoconf 2.71.

I worked around this by downloading the most recent autoconf release from GNU,
then setting it up with ./configure --prefix=... && make && make install. From
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.xz
