+       * tests/calc.at, tests/actions.at: Workaround for SGI
+       C++ compiler.  (trivial change)
+
+2004-05-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+       Spent a few hours checking out which prerequisite versions the
+       current sources actually require.  I went all the way back to
+       Gettext 0.10.40, Automake 1.4, and Autoconf 2.57 and investigated
+       a seemingly endless set of combinations of versions more recent
+       than that.  The bottom line is that the current sources require
+       fairly recent versions of the build tools, and it'll be some work
+       to change this.
+       * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Increase from 2.58 to 2.59.
+       (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Increase from 1.7 to 1.8.
+       (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Increase from 0.11.5 to 0.12.
+       Add comments explaining why those particular versions are
+       currently needed.
+       
+       * src/parse-gram.y (lloc_default): Rewrite to avoid compiler bug
+       in SGI MIPSpro 7.4.1m.  Problem reported by Albert Chin-A-Young in
+       <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2004-05/msg00037.html>.
+
+       * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Bump to 2.58, since 2.57 doesn't work
+       (it fails with a Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4 diagnostic).

        * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Lower it from 0.14.1 to
