Anyone knows if GNU is planning to change their autoconf system to support  
NeXT's new "smart" architecture? There is a LOT of programs which is  
difficult to compile under 3.0 because of this. (like Taylor UUCP, perl

Why did they do it?? Before is was a (more or less) clean BSD machine  
(from a Unix point of view), but know it's a...Well..A NeXT..
