I'm not sure what the solution is, I'm just reporting that I can't build
on the Mac (PPC or Intel) any more.

Does it work if you start from a clean state? Eg

make maintainer-clean
configure
make

I am doing a clean checkout from bzr, which should be very clean:

bzr checkout --lightweight --hardlink emacs-bzr/trunk emacs-bzr/xxx-test
cd emacs-bzr/xxx-test
./autogen/copy_autogen
./configure --with-ns
make

Interestingly, I tried this locally on my laptop and could not duplicate
the problem. My laptop is running Mac OS X 10.7.4 and Xcode 4.3.2.

However, my Emacs build machine is consistently failing (the one that
builds Emacs for http://emacsformacosx.com). That machine is running
10.6.8 and Xcode 3.2.6 (the last version that worked on that OS, I
think). It needs to run on an older OS because that is the last OS that
supported building Emacs for PowerPC.

Are you doing this right now, or was this earlier?

What does line 1352 of config.h look like?

I'm pretty sure your checkout is just not up-to-date...

Yes you are right, my build machine pulled from the repo at midnight so
it hadn't caught your commit:

revno: 108346
committer: Glenn Morris <rgm <at> gnu.org>
branch nick: trunk
timestamp: Wed 2012-05-23 06:17:31 -0400
message:
  Auto-commit of generated files.

The machine I was testing with locally on *had* that commit so it
worked. All the OS stuff was a red herring.

So this bug is already fixed. Sorry for the false alarm!

It's very easy to install autoconf/automake, then you won't have this
kind of issue again...

You are right. I was resisting based on the idea of maintaining some
sort of "purity" of the build machine, but "brew install autoconf
automake" is not out of line. I've gone ahead and done it, thanks for
the push.
