4179084SrdivackyNote that if you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode, you will need
5179084Srdivackyspecial versions of automake, autoconf, libtool and gettext. You will
6179084Srdivackyfind the sources for these in ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/binutils.

8179084SrdivackyNote - "make distclean" does not work with maintainer mode enabled.
9179084SrdivackyThe Makefiles in the some of the po/ subdirectories depend upon the
10179084SrdivackyMakefiles in their parent directories, and distclean will delete the
11179084SrdivackyMakefiles in the parent directories before running the Makefiles in
12179084Srdivackythe child directories.  There is no easy way around this (short of
13179084Srdivackychanging the automake macros) as these dependencies need to exist in
14179084Srdivackyorder to correctly build the NLS files.
