Thanks for explaining this, Nick, and in fact the problem was
self-inflicted as I was installing the prerelease Automake versions to a
different prefix than libtool (and the base automake) without taking steps
to help aclocal find the libtool macro definitions.

After installing Libtool to the same prefix as the prerelease Automake, the
problem disappeared.

Cheers,

Hello, the current emacs-30 allows move the tool-bar to bottom, i would
like to know if there are plans for allow move it to left and right.

Also I would like to help on this (only for windows-nt port), but i
would need to get more information such as which files, variables or
functions are needed to modify.

Thanks.
